You'd think that a professional news outlet publishing an article reporting that "Nigel Farage is facing mockery after he claimed the new European Commission president lacked "legitimacy" because she won just 52 per cent of the vote" would manage to find video of him actually saying that.

She didn't stand in the elections and her name was never really mentioned as a candidate - but that didn't stop MEPs approving her. They had tried to inject some democracy into the selection process, but backed down after leaders threatened a fight.

 

Lying, cheating, etc, isn't just the prerogative of UK politicians, although listening to some you might think it was.

 

Von der Leyen is no stranger to scandal: she’s currently undergoing a parliamentary inquiry over claims of nepotism and incompetence at the Ministry of Defence. She’s also been accused of plagiarising some of her doctoral thesis, and making errors in it. It'll be worth keeping an eye on the Bundestag to see whether anything come out of the parliamentary inquiry.

 

If you are wondering about some of the reasons people voted leave, then look no further than her stance on the future of the EU.

 

As defence minister, she promoted arms exports to Saudi Arabia, and on foreign policy is, by German standards at least, a hawk. At the EU, she is a strong federalist, and has called for “a united states of Europe – run along the lines of the federal states of Switzerland, Germany or the USA”. She says an EU army is also an aspiration.

 

Some of us were told we were 'scare mongering', or just plain stupid, when we mentioned our thoughts on a future 'Federal Europe'. It seems that we weren't the only ones thinking along those lines.

 

John.

A reasonable point at last, however, as The Economist points out, Brexit isn't the whole story..
