The reality is that there are very few good choices likely to be ideologically and personally acceptable to a large majority on the Council. This won't be our choice to make, but the Council's. Are there any candidates likely to be acceptable to the Council that we could support?
But, seriously, small states wouldn't like it. I still think that one of the BeNeLux candidates will be the winner. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
