TOP Eurocrat Herman van Rompuy provoked outrage yesterday by declaring his ambition to become leader of a “United States of Europe”.
He signalled his desire for a second two-and-a-half year term as president of the European Union.
And he made clear he would use a renewed mandate to realise the ultimate Euro-fanatic dream of turning the EU into a superstate.
Last night, there was outrage at the “deluded ambitions” of the EU’s unelected president.
Martin Callanan, leader of the Tory Euro-MPs, said: “Mr van Rompuy’s dream of leading a European superstate is everyone else’s nightmare.
“We don’t want to be part of a United States of Europe under any circumstances.”
Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, said: “His ambitions are deluded given the huge problems that the continent is facing.” Mr van Rompuy – whose term of office ends in May – made his move as growing pressure for a new EU treaty fuels concern over UK membership.

The Daily Express crusade for a referendum on Britain quitting the EU has won 25,000 signatures on the Government e-petition website.
But last night, David Cameron ruled out a referendum despite a previous Tory pledge for a poll on any EU treaty changes.
The Prime Minister told Tory MPs: “Britain should be in there defending its interests.”
Backbencher Bill Cash warned that the refusal to grant a referendum could provoke a furious backlash.
“You’re creating an extremely dangerous situation,” he told Mr Cameron “Why won’t you give the British people the right to have their say?”
'David Cameron ruled out a referendum despite a previous Tory pledge for a poll on any EU treaty changes.' As I indicated 3 posts ago, Cameron will never grant us a referendum because it's not on his agenda!
