Earlier talk of a President Tony Blair, the former prime minister of Britain, has faded. Neither France nor Germany is said to back Mr. Blair, whose politics are center-left at a time when those key states have center-right governments. Yet the virtual loss of Blair has catapulted center-left British Foreign Minister David Miliband into a leading candidate role as Europe's high representative, or foreign minister. A center-right president will be balanced by a center-left foreign chief, sources say. Britain may get a top spot to help keep the ambiguously pro-Europe Britain more strongly in the new EU. I guess there are actually 2 important positions, the President (rightish) and Foreign Minister (leftish). Here's another article about Blair: Tony Blair’s chances of EU presidency fade amid calls for a chairman not a chief - October 30, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6896136.ece |
