The EU spin machine has made a bizarre attempt to quash concerns about its unelected elite by, urm, pretending that they’re superheroes.
A surreal video pumped out recently by its information service dressed up arch-bureaucrats Jean-Claude Juncker, Martin Schultz and Guy Verhofstadt and others as a kind of crap Power Rangers:
Bespectacled politicos, kitted out in primary colors and blessed with extremely unlikely six-packs, zoom across the screen on a lightning background, billed as “supercandidates”.

The purpose, it seems, is to spin the “spitzenkandidaten” selection process for top EU jobs as a kind of democracy-plus.
It’s just like normal democracy – except you don’t vote!
Instead other politicians get together and pick for you. Super.
The video – published in English – can hardly be anything other than an attempt to win over British voters contemplating ditching the EU next month.
European lack of – and contempt for – direct democracy is one of the Leave campaign’s most potent weapons.

So you can see why the shady bureaucrats – whom even British political insiders resolutely fail to recognise – are keen to counter it.
Unfortunately the argument that we are represent in absentia by our sainted government rather falls flat, since David Cameron fought tooth and nail to block Jean-Claude Juncker (the blue ranger) from the EU Commissioner’s job – but failed.
So far the time being the EU Super Squad remains undefeated – but could come off worse for wear against Brexit Man when the two clash in a few weeks’ time.
