Blair for President

I’d be fine with it, if in return the UK adopts the euro. Otherwise this would just be silly:

I’m told Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have discussed the possibility of Mr Blair becoming President.

That’s President of the Council, the new top European job created by the Lisbon Treaty.
Some want to find a high profile president to represent the European Union on the world stage at events such as the G8, the Bali summit and for meeting heads of state.

Gordon Brown is willing to give his backing but is waiting for a nod from Mr Blair. BBC blog
