He can't. He's useless- a highly-paid and trumped up figurehead position with no constitutional role to play.

No, they haven't.

But Italy basically told them to go screw themselves and so the EU is very mad at Italy.


No, it's not.

Italian public schools, yes.
Schools are supposed to be SECULAR, unless they are religious schools of course.

It's good to have the EU President from a small country, it'll keep his head from getting too big.

Also, it means the Foreign Policy Chief or whatever they are calling it will probably come from a bigger country, maybe from central or eastern europe.

Good call, this also means that at no point did you have any right to criticise Bush for being a shite president, so if you'd just rewrite a couple of years' posts?

I don't see why we can't disagree with our leadership we indirectly elected, as opposed to an American voting in a proper presidential election...

Well, I'm rather proud that a Belgian, a little boring Belgian won from 'magnificent' Tony. :)

Don't be afraid, fellow Europeans, Herman is much much much smarter as Tony Blair.
He's a consensus type and will be a president for all Europeans, that's including the British.

As you already pointed out in a previous topic, Tony Blair was not exactly a welcome candidate.
