Jess The Dog (Free subscription) | 10/17/2009
The spectre of a "President Blair" of Europe has been haunting me for the last few weeks. This deranged power-crazed madman took this country into a controversial war, based on lies, in defiance of international law and domestic opinion. Now he has his eyes on the presidency of Europe. This unelected role is claimed to be mainly symbolic and administrative, but there is no more dangerous...

The Presidency of the European Council
Stephen Spillane (Free subscription) | 11/01/2009
There has been a lot of talk lately about the collapse of the Tony Blair candidacy for President of the European Council (see Nosemonkey’s recent post for an explanation of all those councils!).
