Re: Blair Means Big..? (4.00 / 2)

Why not draft Gorby? He's done more for European integration than most of the bozos that're actually running.

Gorby's one of my heros - I don't have many - but even I have to concede that he is past it...

True.

When's the next Spanish general election? Is ZP gonna be free before Lisbon is ratified?

Last election was in March 2008, though there are calls for early elections over the handling of the crisis.

ZP will hold the rotating presidency of the Council of Ministers in the first half if 2010. See how you like him after that :P

I'm not sure I like him, but he's actually qualified for the job. Which is better than can be said for most of the field.

On second thought: is he? He can keep together his own party, but when has he conducted something involving equal partners?

In that respect he seems to have run his party like Blair did - by sidelining all dissenters and possible challengers.
