Finally, is it possible the un-elected gang of 27 aka the European Commission is so far out of touch with reality that they will refuse to back down? At what point do their home governments pull the plug on their profound arrogance?
Yes they are. They think they are sacrosankt, which thery really are cause as you mentioned, they are not democratically elected and the Governments like to have the opportunity to blame the bull**** they want onto the Commission.
Easy way out for them if the **** really hits the fan.
