The People’s Dialogue

When in doubt, throw a conference.

A major conference is taking place on the future of the European Union today following last year’s rejection of the EU constitution by voters in some countries.

You will not solve a thing, but you will probably get to eat some good food and do a little networking. According to the Organiser

"This will help us find the policies that will unite the people of Europe.”

No mention of whether the public (as opposed to political anoraks) will even knowe the conference is on, let alone attend. No doubt if it doesn’t work, they will double the dose.

The Dublin event is the first in a series of events to be held by the Party of European Socialists’ (PES) member parties in a number of Member States.

Great I can’t wait.
