    Europe the beacon of democracy?


    My arse..
    indeed.

    we got a federast europygmy for president and a british non-entity for foriegn minister.

    not a bad result all told.

    Rompey is a pygmy from a pygmy nation, so his federalist clap-trap hopefully won't have much legs:
    He has been described by Chris Bryant, the Europe minister, as having "a more federalist agenda than other prime ministers in Europe".

    He once authored a federalist manifesto that decalared: "Apart from the euro, also other national symbols need to be replaced by European symbols (licence plates, identity cards, presence of more EU flags, one time EU sports events."

    Just last week, speaking to a private dinner of industrialists, diplomats and politicians, he called for European taxes on financial transactions to fund the EU.

    He is also a hard-line opponent of Turkey's bid to join the European Union because, he has warned, it is an Islamic country and would dilute Europe's Christian heritage.
    Ashton is at least British, which is a good thing given that i view foriegn policy and defence as the most important thing a nation does, but is also a pygmy which means that neither the UK, France, or Germany is really serious about trying to forge a common foreign policy.
    Another UK source said that by proposing her for the job, Mr Brown was ensuring the high representative could not be considered Europe's foreign minister. The source said: "This means the job is not a foreign minister job, it's a job of co-ordinating policies among 27 members."
    [edit]
    i did think that blair's candidacy was being used by brown as a stalking horse to make sure miliband got the high-rep job, in an effort to protect a labour high-flyer from the butchery at the next election along with the following wilderness years.

    this didn't happen, but i still reckon brown used blair as a stalking horse to ensure a brit got the high-rep job, by far the more important position provided a pygmy from the right of euro-politics got the job of president.
