A socialist, or a green party member.
Fischer, Juncker

Let´s get the UK Labor Party out of the PES!!! and with the conservative EPP where they belong. They are no more socialist or labor than the man in the moon.

—Juncker or Fischer.
—A socialist, or green party member, but not Labor.

-No UK Labor politician is ethical enough for the post and BlIar is a war criminal, like Barroso.
-Wallstrom has done NOTHING, but pay lip service to ´communication´ in the EU and has not helped bring citizens closer to the institutions at all, using her blog for pieces about her far-removed-from-people reality.
-If Lamy was in the WTO, he´ll probably sell us out in a NY minute to big business. Even more.

Well I have to say one thing: Rasmussen, Rasmussen, Rasmussen. If there will be someone else than Barroso at the EC this year, it’ll be a socialist, and if there is (surprisingly) a socialist at the head of the EC it will be Rasmussen. Good choice, too, if the PES finally had the courage to carry him forward…

Milliband would never take the job – he has his sights on Labour leader then PM when Brown inevitably loses the next election.

Wallstrom has no chance as she isn’t a member of the Swedish governing Party. Ditto Lamy and France. Verhofstadt may stand a chance though.

No british politician for European Commission Presidency, please. And Strauss-Kahn is certainly too much linked with his own country.
Nowadays, probably Verhofstadt is the best choice.

What about Tony Blair? Or could Romano Prodi return to the job?
