No more Mr Squee guy.
EUROPEAN UNION member states will sacrifice their legitimacy if the public believes they are unable to influence economic decisions by their vote, President Michael D Higgins has declared in an interview [with David Frost on Frost Over The World] to be broadcast on Al Jazeera TV today.
Economics must be made “accountable and transparent in some way” for citizens. If not, he said, “what happens then is that you’re sacrificing legitimacy, and one is creating the ground for a naked conflict between a massive number of populations of different kinds and size who feel at the mercy of the economy”.
And the church?
“You’re probably never again going to see unaccountable structures [anymore] where you could hide or cloak misdemeanours or grave transgressions.”
