The Oxford Council on Good Governance: OCGG
Tony Blair unfit for EU Presidency

by André Nilsen

Recommendation to the European Council

The European Council should not make Tony Blair its first permanent President but instead choose a low-profile, consensual, trusted, multilateralist, centrist, progressive, diplomatic, Europeanist, forward-looking, and public-spirited woman or man among the many excellent other candidates.

Gah. He makes the point that the job is "Chairman, Not Chief", but then keeps calling it "EU President"; and even before, says

As the EU with the Constitution de facto becomes a Republic, the EU President will in practice be Europe's head of
state.

Oh, and Constitution. The Oxford Council on Good Governance should give an introducory EU and Lisbon Treaty course to its think-tankers...
