What a farce. Europe has it's first president and foreign minister..

Hands up if you've ever heard of the. What no one ???

In a stitch-up between the two big blocs of the EU, the Centre Right fell in behind Herman Van Rompuy, the Belgian Prime Minister, to take that job.

The centre-left Socialist leaders backed Baroness Ashton of Upholland, Britain’s Trade Commissioner, to be the first High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, as well as vice-president for external affairs.

The saving grace is that Tony B'Liar didn't get the job..

You're right bleu, but to be honest I don't think it matters one bit what his title is. As brit said, it's all a carefully organised stitch-up which will probably turn out to mean very little in real terms.........
