That statement is just HILARIOUS
Now let´s see, to have a president, we will have to be a political union.
We´re not there yet and won´t be for some time.
Still, discussions are already on about it and here in Germany I can see no one of any party advocating Blair for a future post.
Myself, I am advocating very strongly someone I consider a Non-Politician, though she was President of a Republic before.
Yes, I am campaigning for Mary Robinson.
Presidency of the EU will be a non-ploitical office.
The President will, as is the case in Germany, Austria, Italy and other countries hold a merely representative Office with no influence whatever in day to day politics.
Mary would fit the job perfectly.
Blair, on the other hand, would always try to foist his prehistoric US-subservient views on the community.
Result would be, they´d kick him out after a couple of months.
Blair knows that and I doubt, he´ll offer candidature.
What happens in London at present is, some poor forgotten guys tryeing to climb back in the limelight and cash in on some interviews.
But, you see, it´s quite possible and in order to make a person President who is not a professional Politician.
Btw, I have support for my Mary plans right across all the political parties here.
Very few to disagree.
Now, let first see, if we can and want to be a greater Political Union.
Once that is decided, we´ll start talking about Presidents - or we´ll forget about it.
Still, the line was fun to read.
Addendum for those, not up to date with present EU methodics:
Presently, a different member country will preside the council, but there is no president.
It´s like presiding a series of meetings, no more.
Some, Like Sarkozy tried to use their term to propagate themselves, though that has no effect on the community
The appeal to Ireland and the changing of a set of rules to oblige to the Irish objections was not made by the then presiding Czechs, it was done due to the lobbying of eight states, Germany among them.
And it was the Luxembourg proposal which was followed widely in making alterations.
So you see, even the little ones get attention and a say in Europe.
So stop hiding under the table, get the fiddles out and make yourselves heard.
Europe will enjoy it.0 -

Type this in to youtube(Im not sure how to post link): The rise of the european superstate- you should see "lou dobbs tonight" CNN report.
While at first I was going to dismissively state that anything could be proved through Youtube, I did look. :pac: Im going to go out on a limb and assume that video was legitimate, although it was so 'perverted' and full of inaccuracies that Im quiteskeptical.
Firstly the report opens with talk of how "European Elites" want a Treaty. It then show videos of Prime Ministers of each country walking in, the people who want the Treaty. Key words being Prime Ministers. How are they elites if they have been elected back at home?
Then the talk of it being an anti-American conspiracy. This is natural. The Americans have seen as the dominant power since the 1990's, and before that sharing the status with only one other country since '45. So it is easy to see how the Americans are threatened by a European Union. Its easy to see how they are threatened by the Euro. In their scheme of things anything so good for some other countries must be bad for America.
Then they talk about bypassing the electorate, about renaming it a Treaty so they dont have to have referenda. This ignores key points. Specifically some countries never had to have referenda on the EU Constitution, it was simply a token gesture. And some countries of course cant have referenda on anything, like Germany. So all this report is telling me is how the Reporter (and the anchor) completely misunderstand the EU.
Of course, it was easy to spot it as a Euroskeptic piece of rubbish from the start but I said I would dissect it anyway. It was going on about Lisbon creating a superstate? My advice is for CNN, or whoever made it, to invest in a dictionary. And look up 'elite' while theyre at it 0 -

God, if he can do that much, I guess it means the dreaded Federal Europe complete with micro-chipped, mandatory conscription, take-your-baby European Army is upon us all. 0 -

Nope, that´ll be up to each country according to their constitution.
In other words, you won´t be able to force all Europeans to have Guiness for breakfast and Paddy for tea.
Nor will we be able to make you eat sour Kraut from noon til night.0 -

Don't worry it doesn't take effect until December 1st so we have a few days yet. I mean doesn't Van Rompuy look like an evil super-villian? 0 -

How embarassing...Despite all those that are repeatedly saying that the "No" side is/was blowing smoke about Blair going to be president, TOMORROW on the front page MAIN HEADLINE of the British Times, they are announcing that it is MOST likely that Blair WILL be the first EU president.
Tomoprrows front page:
The news sites tonight have been showing copies of tomorrows papers and this story is being repeated to some variation in a lot of them.
Now I have read the previous links supplied from both sides stating their case one way or another with examples of previous statements, papers comments etc - however its become quite clear now, all those are now just that - past history. What will appear on tomorrows front page of the British Times is likely to be the future!
Todays paper!
