Petition Lack of democracy in the EU and the re-election of Herman Van Rompuy .

More details

We, the undersigned, are seriously concerned about the increasingly undemocratic nature of the EU, and fear that it will worsen without a change of leadership. We oppose the re-election of Herman Van Rompuy in 2012 because of his open opposition to democracy and the catastrophic failure of his policies and leadership.
We petition Parliament to debate these matters and we ask Parliament to vote on the following motion;

This House requests that the Heads of the EU re- affirm their commitment to democracy and to Government with the consent of the Governed; accordingly opposes the re-election of Herman Van Rompuy as European Council President and expresses the wish to see him replaced by a President fully committed to maintaining democratic principles whatever the circumstances, with the will and ability to restore harmony and prosperity throughout the whole of Europe.
