Eurosceptic democracy

From today’s Guardian.

In an interview on LBC today, [David] Cameron said he was “disappointed” by the Czech court’s decision [that the Lisbon Treaty is OK constitutionally]. “I hope, of course, [Klaus] doesn’t sign the treaty but I suspect time is running out,” the Conservative leader said.

Is this not extraordinary? To hope that a single individual should go against his own country’s laws, the views of its courts, the opinions of its voters and the democratic decision of its Parliament? How would that be any democracy other than the Eurosceptic kind, where anything that supports the holy cause is democracy, and anything that goes against it is false consciousness?
