He was the idiot who turned the EU from a perfectly sensible trading area into a political project to create a United States of Europe. He was the idiot who centralised power in the EU around Brussels and made the EU Commission effectively the Executive of the EU superstate. At that point it was doomed to fail.

I'm so glad Jacques Delors lived to see the UK leave the EU.
