Rebuilding from the Bottom Up

Daniel Hannan is an MEP (Member of the European Parliament) from Southeastern England.  Along with Doug Carswell, MP, he is one of the co-founders of Direct Democracy UK, a movement promoting self-governance in the United Kingdom.  I recommend Dan's Daily Telegraph blog, where he covers a wide range of subjects.  In his latest post, he discusses (with bonus Jefferson quote!) how institutions--like the EU, FIFA, UN--tend to become corrupt the farther they get from the people to whom they are supposed to be accountable, which will become a recurring theme on this Blog.
