According to the Economist, the Conservative party's Euroscepticism is "frightening".
It might frighten the sort of people who write for the Economist, but not the folk I was talking to here in Essex this morning. They've had enough of the grand EU project foisted on them by politicians and diplomats. They're through with government by remote directive and decree. And all those smug, preening, self-regarding, democracy-sapping EU summits and carve ups.
The Economist demands compromise, for surely they opine, we must realise that "on many issues Euroscepticism has won". Oh yes? And which powers have been returned to the people and the nation-states as a consequence?
This is the kind of meaningless dross spewed out by the sort of people who work at the Foreign Office since Maastricht. "High water mark of federalism" blah blah. Yet somehow the EU project keeps on coming.
