The EU commission office in London was kind enough to send me this, a warmup for a ‘town-hall style meeting’ on the part of the Vice-President of the Commission, Viviane Reding, though I’m not entirely sure that the Royal Institution is quite your normal town hall. Anyway, something of the spirit of the open primary has entered the EU so I think Coffee Housers should enthusiastically take up the invitation to get involved in the online discussion. Quite what will happen to the contributions afterwards is anyone’s guess; but let’s not be churlish – it’s the blight of every consultation exercise. Anyway, let us hope that the discussion does actually represent popular sentiment in some form; over to you folks. Be nice.
