As David Puttnam said recently in Dublin, the political establishment is by nature conservative and afraid of sudden change at local, regional and national level - and, I would add, also at European level.
Nagu David Puttnam hiljuti Dublinis ütles, on poliitiline riigiaparaat oma loomu poolest konservatiivne ning kardab järske muutusi kohalikul, regionaalsel ja riigi tasandil - ning lisaksin ka, et Euroopa tasandil.
