Tony Blair is in line to be proclaimed Europe’s first president within weeks if the Irish vote “yes” in today’s referendum.
Senior British sources have told The Times that President Sarkozy has decided that Mr Blair is the best candidate and that Angela Merkel has softened her opposition.
The former Prime Minister could be ushered into the European Union’s top post at a summit on October 29.
Ms Merkel, the German Chancellor, was opposed to Mr Blair because she believed that the post should go to a country that had adopted the euro but British sources said that she may now be “biddable” if Germany and France get plum posts in the new European Commission

ReplyDeleteIt is a very rational fear for a citizen of Britain. We in Canada are still fighting to maintain our basic rights without giving them up to people of other histories who have no visceral idea of what rights we have or even what they mean. Look at the CHRC's here.
Britains ought to look askance at these proposals. They must, must hold themselves to common law if possible even as debased as it has become in Britain today.
Europe will have an apologist unelected socialist anti-British president, he has come back to finish the job he didn't complete....the destruction of the UK.
