The EU project explained

Prodicus explains the EU project in terms that may scare you:

"Arrange that the transferred powers remain in your hands and those of your peers in The Club: other heads of government and a claque of appointed officials. Make the first duty of those officials the preservation and extension of the powers of the Club.

In this way, your charmed life can continue, far away from the critical gaze of the little people whose freedoms you may now abuse with impunity, and who must live by a massive rule-book whose million rubrics would put even those of Charlemagne and Ramses in the shade. You will have removed their right of criticism and of redress. They will now have to accept whatever you give them, complain as they may."

It is an accurate assessment of the EU and therefore one that will probably be made illegal to make within five years.
