However, rest assured, mere voters are not worthy of consideration when the Brussels elite knows better.

Valls made the remark on Monday, a day after the EP elections were held in France. The French prime minister’s ruling Socialist party suffered a humiliating defeat by falling to the third place with 14 percent... 

The results of the local elections have been fascinating. It was reasonable to expect that Ukip would do well in the European Parliament ballot (which is yet to be counted), but the fact that so many people chose to vote for the party at council level, too, suggests that the revolt is about more than just our relationship with Brussels. It represents a cry of rage against politics-as-usual, a cry...
