European president?

[Kamany]

In this thread I propose you to say who should be the best president for the European Union and why (it's harder...^^).
Yes, there's a current one, but consider him with the power of a prime minister or a chancelor


I think Daniel-Cohn-Bendit could be a good president for the EU. Even if he's to much turbulant he's a real European (French and German), he's got experience into the European parliament(he's the leader of the green group) and he's enough independent to conduct a realist politic without corruption or ambitious member-state leader. To conclude he's perfect except for one thing, we need a calm person, and thus, Jacques Delors or Mario Monti must be good concurrents.


And you who is your favorite?

Oh dear, let's not have an EU President. I can only imagine how much whinier half of the British would get if they had a single person to blame everything on.

[Blazedtown]

We rescue Julius Caesar from hell and let him rule Europe for the rest of time.

Which European presidency are you talking about? There are four.

A mix between the president of the commission and the president of the council, a kind of head of state.

Though I'm not European, I believe in the ideal of Western Civilization.

I would like to see the countries of Europe undo much of what they have done to integrate for the same reasons Machiavelli stated in his writings on "virtu" in The Art of War.

So Italians, Spaniards, Poles, the Dutch, the Portuguese and many more aren't Europeans?

Why would a thing that isn't a state need a head of state?

If Britain takes such issue with the very core of what the EU is, why are they still members?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

David Tennant.

[Socialist States Owen]

Only Tony Blair of course, the greatest statesman and supporter of peace in our time!

[Jafas United]

Timo Soini.

[Castille de Italia]

Yulia Tymoshenko. I'd like to see a shitstorm of Ukrainian politics if she was a POTEU...

[Olthar]

David Tennant.

He should rule the world, not just Europe.

Or he can rule my bedroom. One of the two.

[Seshephe]

I came here to say
YES!

My candidate: Fredrik Reinfeldt all the way

[Seshephe]

David Tennant.

He should rule the world, not just Europe.

Or he can rule my bedroom. One of the two.

I thought that was my task?

[Neu Leonstein]

Willem Buiter. But only if he gets unchallenged executive power.

Uh, yeah. He's just going to come and serve as a a stand-in on your days off.

Currently, the person in charge of the most powerful wing of the European Union, the E.C. is Herman Van Rompuy. He does a good job (from what I can actually uncover) and is a perfectly acceptable person. He's theist, but seems genuinely open to the federal idea that the EU should follow; especially in the futurist sense.

Anyway I'm a fan; he's good at his job and that’s enough for me (an atheist).

P.S. ideally we would have this man as President, but he's long-dead.

The voters for the UKIP party are not all of Britain, and Nigel is speaking for his constituents, not the country. But what he was denouncing was the creation of new officialdoms with very high salaries and perks and no accountability, who trample on the weaker countries: if that is "the very core" of the EU, then it needs to die, quickly.

The leader of IMF, Christine. She understand how to handle the physical policy well.

Because Sir Humphrey Appleby hasn't told you yet

[Caninope]

Yulia Tymoshenko. I'd like to see a shitstorm of Ukrainian politics if she was a POTEU...

She reminds me of an older, blonde Princess Leia of Ukraine.

It might be the hair though.
