But the most devastating case against the EU’s direction of movement is provided unintentionally by a federalist MEP, Andrew Duff, in a Policy Network booklet “On Governing Europe. His object is to try to make sense of the complex network of bodies, policy chiefs, bailout funds, international agreements and much else that has emerged since the financial crisis. He makes a man-sized attempt and remembers to mention the idiotic commitment to balanced budgets. The author hopes yet another treaty revision conference in 2015 will make sense of these arrangements. Anyone who supposes that this rigmarole will advance the welfare of Europe’s citizens is an optimist indeed; and Mr Duff has little hope of convincing his fellow Brits, as his last few pages explain how the UK can remain honourably on the sidelines.
但不支持欧盟前进方向的最有力理由却是拥护联邦制的欧洲议会议员安德鲁·迪夫(Andrew Duff)无意中提供的。他为政策网络(Policy Network)智库编撰了一本小册子,叫做《论治理欧洲》(On Governing Europe),他的目的是弄清楚各种机构、政策负责人、纾困基金、国际协议以及金融危机后涌现出的其他事物所构成的复杂网络。他做出了巨大的努力,还不忘提到有关预算平衡的愚蠢承诺。该作者希望在2015年再次召开欧盟条约修订会议将使这些安排变得有条理。如果有人认为这番长篇大论能够促进欧洲公民的福祉,那真是不折不扣的乐观主义者。迪夫也并不期盼能让他的英国同胞信服,因为他在最后几页解释了英国如何能够体面地置身事外。
