EU project avoids democratic scrutiny

YOUR Europe correspondent, Ann Cahill, makes a number of questionable claims in her criticisms of Declan Ganley and Libertas (December 15).

She seems to imply that because the Lisbon Treaty and previous EU treaties were drawn up and agreed by elected leaders and ministers this means the content of those treaties is democratic.

But this is not logical. It is perfectly possible for democratically elected leaders and ministers to agree to a political system that is in itself not democratic.
