Re: is Blair to become EU President ?

If Blair gets enough support from across the other member states, I want to know why. What's in it for them?

An introductory paragraph from an article in the The Economst.

Quote:
WHY does the thought of a “President Tony Blair” in Europe make people so cross? Something about the idea sends prominent euro-politicians into paroxysms. Take Daniel Cohn-Bendit, co-leader of the Green faction in the European Parliament: he calls a Blair candidacy “absurd”, damning him as a zealous advocate of the Iraq war that divided Europe, and blaming him for “Thatcher-inherited neoliberal politics” that sowed the seeds of today’s economic crisis.
