Hypocrites

The Finance Minister in the Austrian Government has said that Turkey should not join the EU. Depending on your point of view, you may regard this as a reasonable idea. But what about this:

"It would be wrong to negotiate full Turkish membership of the EU," Mr Grasser said. "If you were to ask the people 'Are you for Turkish membership?', I'm convinced that you would get No as an answer."

Mr Grasser’s government it should be remembered has not offered his electorate a vote on the EU constitution. So when is the will of the people important and when is it not Mr Grasser?
