WHO is Lord Hill? This is the question that everyone is asking in Britain and Europe, after David Camreon appointed our new Commissioner to the European Union.
In the past Britain has always appointed a big hitter to the post of EU Commissioner but no one has ever described Lord Hill as a big hitter. This is because Lord Hill has never been elected to any public position. He relies purely upon noblesse oblige as his only right to be Britain's representative in Europe.
The appointment of Lord Hill to be Britain’s EU Commissioner only goes to increase the complaint that there is a democratic deficit within the European Union.
