Indeed, it is precisely the Eurocrats’ detachment from everyday politics that has enabled the EU to deliver. Contrary to the ranting of Euroskeptic politicians in Britain and, increasingly, in eurozone member countries, the growing disenchantment of voters with politics reflects the distance that has grown between promises and results, not the distance between EU officials and member states’ citizens.
事实上，正是欧盟官员与日常政治的脱节才使欧盟得以提供上述好处。与那些英国（和不断增加的其他欧盟成员国内部）政治家的欧盟怀疑论恰恰相反，选民政治意识的日益觉醒反映的是承诺与结果之间的落差，而非欧盟官员与成员国人民之间的鸿沟。
