Nigel-Farage"What we are seeing is an increasingly authoritarian European Union that crushes democratic rights and then actually crows about it," said Nigel Farage in the European Parliament, Strasbourg today (27 October) before Presidents Juncker and Tusk. 

"After Italy and Greece had their prime ministers deposed," Farage said, "we now have the dismissal of democracy in Portugal, where the President of Portugal, Mr Silva, is refusing elected Left-wing Eurosceptics office on the grounds that they represent anti-European forces." What we are witnessing, Farage concluded, is "the modern day implementation of the Brezhnev doctrine. This is exactly what happened to states living inside the USSR."
