President Blair?

Tony Blair will be the UK's official candidate for EU president, Baroness Kinnock has apparently confirmed. The post will only be created if the Lisbon Treaty is ratified by all EU states - Ireland is to hold a second referendum in October. There has long been speculation that the former PM would go for the post but he has not confirmed he will do so. It is the first time a UK government minister has publicly announced Tony Blair is a candidate for the job. Previously, ministers have said it was premature to talk of supporting any particular candidate when the job itself did not exist.

'Strength of character'

But at a briefing in Strasbourg, Europe Minister Lady Kinnock said: "The UK government is supporting Tony Blair's candidature for president of the Council [of EU governments]." Asked if it had been discussed with Mr Blair, currently a Middle East envoy, she said: "It is the government's position. I am sure they would not do that without asking him." Lady Kinnock went on to say Mr Blair had the "strength of character" and "status" to take on the job.

Another great example of the link between the Labour Party and the European Union, also known as 'jobs for the boys'. Tony Blair helped the Kinnocks' get on to the European Union gravy train and now they are helping Tony Blair get on to it. Hopefully the governments of Europe will oppose this as they all opposed the illegal invasion of Iraq.

"Any holder is likely to try to centralise power for themselves in Brussels and dominate national foreign policies. In the hands of an operator as ambitious as Tony Blair, that is a near certainty. He should be let nowhere near the job." - William Hague, former Conservative leader & Shadow Foreign Secretary

"He is intelligent, he is brave and he is a friend. We need him in Europe. How can we govern a continent of 450 million people if the President changes every six months and has to run his own country at the same time?" - President Nicholas Sarkozy

The answer is Mr Sarkozy, no one has the right to govern all of Europe (especially when unelected) hence why two world wars were fought along with a cold war. The last person who came close to governing the whole of Europe was Adolf Hitler.

Thoughts? - I have noticed strangely though how Blairs reputation has had a comeback with someone as low as Brown, despite the fact he was the one who let Brown sell off pension schemes, let Brown spend all this countrys cash and he was the one who lied to us all about the invasion of Iraq which has cost over one million people their lives.

Aww bless him, I hope he gets it.

I hope he gets in when the lisbon treaty is passed in ireland with an overwhelming majority.

I don't get why world leaders in Europe want him in, what exactly has he done? Oh well, I guess this can only be good. Why fight the EU when you can get someone to go in, beggar it up and destroy it internally by making invalid points and being a berk?

Sensational and ludicrous thread full of bias opinions and facts which have been twisted to support your anti-Labour agenda.

Can you please try and post neutrally to give people who do not know what this is about some sort of grounds on which they can gather an individual opinion?

From reading your post I know nothing about what the President of the EU would do, how he/she would be elected into such a position and for how long this person would be in office for. All I know is that you dont like Blair, Labour or the EU in which case write an article with that as the title, as it stands this is not an article on Current Affairs so much as your biased slant on what you dont like.

In which case start post something like this on the debating forum.

Its amazing how only one country is getting a vote on the Libson Treaty isn't it, but then again it only goes to support and prove what I have been saying all along and you actually cannot argue with it, they are not giving any referendums because it will lose across Europe. The point I made about the Kinnocks has been ignored, perhaps because they have proven yet again that Labour and the European Union are just the left wing ladder for the 'socialists' such as Neil Kinnock, who are on salaries of hundreds of thousands yet have the cheek to say the Conservatives are all rich s****.

As for biased slant, i'm giving my opinion on it and i'll continue to be biased towards my opinion just like the BBC and Guardian are biased towards Labour, yet are portrayed as the angels of the media. It is infact news though that the United Kingdom government appears to be backing Tony Blair for the role of EU President and i'm just giving my take, seeing as I was the one who was bothered to post this news and I have every right to.

I think the word 'President' gives you some clue as to what his role is to be, surely?

[Sammeth.]

Just cus it says president doesn't mean we should instantly know what his roles and powers are limited and not limited to. Like as president what can he and can't he do I think is what he meant.

President is usually the head of something, such as head of state which means Tony Blair will have a powerful role within the European Union. They are trying to centralise the European Union at the moment so the European Union becomes more powerful, removing sovereign state independance even more than it has been eroded now.

I wouldn't be surprised if we are called the "United States of Europe" sooner or later.

At least you can see what it coming, that is the European Union aim and always has been, they are pushing for a European military and wish to centralise more and more, over 75% of our laws are made in Brussels at this moment in time, sooner or later Westminister won't even need to exist and then ends hundreds of years of democracy.
