Brussels chief: EU is a small "elitist" group, fails to connect with voters

The Brussels official charged with selling the European Union to voters said yesterday it had - to date - been the creation of a "small elite" and failed to connect with the public.

Margot Wallstrom, the European Commission's vice-president for communication, said: "This has been a project for a small elite, a political elite. That has worked - until now."

The Swede babe continued in the same confessional vein as she launched a commission campaign to improve Europe's image after this year's No votes in France and Holland on the draft EU constitution.

"Has it ever been alive, European democracy? That is a very good question," she said.
