"When constituencies are small their elected representatives must concern
themselves with
the local interests of their constituents. When political representatives
are distant and
faceless, on the other hand, and represent vast numbers of unknown
constituents, they
represent not their constituents, but special interest groups whose
lobbyists are numerous
and ever present. Typically in Europe a technocrat is an ex-politician or
a civil servant.
He is unelected, virtually impossible to dislodge during his term of
employment and has
been granted extensive executive and even legislative power without
popular mandate and
without being directly answerable to the people whose interests he falsely
purports to
represent."

- Sir James Goldsmith (Member of the European Parliament) 1933 - 1997
