Government admitted to support Blair for EU presidency
Europe Minister, Baroness Glenys Kinnock announced that former Prime Minister Tony Blair is Britain’s official candidate for the job of European Union President later this year, the Telegraph reports.
“The UK Government is supporting Tony Blair’s candidature for president of the council,” she said.
There is no presidency in the European Union at the moment, but it will be created if the Irish voters accept the Lisbon Treaty at the second referendum, held in October. Prime Minister Gordon Brown had promised a referendum in the UK on Lisbon Treaty, but has since backed down from the promise.
So the creation of the unelected presidency of the EU, as well as other matters that would make the Union a federalist state instead of a union of free and independent nations, is entirely in Ireland’s hands.
The Free World and Europe need your wisdom, dear Irish neighbours, to reject the treaty in October.
