Democracy must take second place to the higher imperative of euro rules and membership.
Those are not the words of the Portuguese President, Anibal Cavaco Silva, they are from the author of the piece, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard.
Explaining why he had chosen the centre-right to form a government over a group of centre-left parties with no formal agreements between them he said:
"Out of the EU and the eurozone, Portugal's future would be catastrophic," Cavaco Silva said. He said Portugal risked losing what it had gained after four years of hard times.
"I have to tell the Portuguese that I fear a loss of confidence (in Portugal) by foreign institutions, our creditors, and investors in foreign markets. The confidence and the credibility of our country are essential for investment and job creation,"
He has done nothing more than the Queen would have done had Cameron fallen a few seats short of a majority.
