  1. a Brit in charge of financial regulation would ensure that nothing is done. With Barnier getting the job at Sarkozy's behest, it's at least an open question;

  2. given her lack of foreign policy experience, it's hard to know how Baroness Ashton will turn out in the job. Will she be driven by Foreign Office guys, or by Brussels bureaucrats? No idea, but at least an open question - and with a social/anti-nuke background, there's some seeds of hope...
