Vote 'Yes' for President Tony Blair?

Blair steps up fight to be crowned first 'President of EU' - Europe, World - The Independent

Tony Blair has emerged as the leading candidate to become the first permanent president of the European Union after Gordon Brown gave his grudging blessing to the plan. The former prime minister has stepped up his campaign for the job, which he wants to use to build a bridge between Europe and the new Obama administration.


His return to the global stage would be a shock to his critics over the Iraq war and dismay many in Europe.

But The Independent on Sunday has learnt that Mr Brown has accepted that his old rival should be in pole position for the appointment, on the basis that Britain needs to have a key figure in the architecture of the "new world order".

Our President,the warmonger.

Absolutley appaling. He should be answering questions in The Hague. Do we want someone like him speaking for us on the world stage?

Thankfully, a Yes to Lisbon will strengthen our EU democracy giving us, the citizens a direct say in who leads the EU.

That looks like one of those daft ASDA/TESCO ads, where they handpick pick certain selective products to give a flase sence to idiots that they're getting a better deal.
