MEP Nigel Farage and his complaints

Here's Nigel Farage, the leader of the UKIP in the European Parliament. For more on him, check wikipedia and this article.

As the following clips show, Mr Farage has decent points, but his cynical and personal rhetoric typical of the Westminster Parliament, does not work so well in a sensitive Europe. Where as in the UK that rhetoric is acceptable, and normal, in Europe it becomes offensive and is unacceptable. He has good points, but wouldn't they be better made if they were put according to the rules of the game everyone else is playing?

Sarkozy, Lisbon Treaty, Van Rompuy and Lady Ashton, Van Rompuy and No apologies to Van Rompuy

On another note, I feel sorry for the members of the European parliament who can't speak either French, English or German, but still try. They ought to make better use of the translators. The bulgarian lady who talks about "popo" is just sad...

So what do you think about the Lisbon treaty? Should there have been a referendum? Was it worth having it? Was it possible to come up with a better treaty, and if so which one?
