Sweden - Cecilia Malmström (ELDR)
Has a phd in political science. Two term MEP, presently minister in charge of EU questions (sort of a coordinator position as I understand it) and vice president in the liberal party.
She is not really on my political radar, which means she has not had very high profile. But I do have a vaguely good feeling about her, which might stem from her being an academic or some other irrelevant factor.
Title of phd thesis:
Of course with Daul heading the EPP it's not going to go anywhere.
