Re: Mary Robinson for President (none / 1)

Was wondering myself -- I haven't read anything in the dozen or so articles mentioning her as candidate.

Re: Mary Robinson for President (none / 1)

Afaik, no candidate has declared any interest (including Blair). It seems to be a thing that is not done.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Re: Mary Robinson for President (none / 0)

You do read about advisors saying this and that about Bliar (including his boredness with his current job), and you do read about the aspirations of Verhofstadt and Balkenende. Last year, Juncker first said he does NOT want the job. I don't know about Lipponen.
