No, not at all. :-) Not for me at least...

Yes, that's right. If we have to choose one, that one is OK. No English, French or German so they don't have to fight :wink: But better no president of Europe ... Just one (or many) more to pay taxes for :evil: :evil:

Jacques Chirac, Tony Blair and Jose Maria Aznar told they wish to create the function of "European president". The president would be elected by the heads of state and governments (the european council), for a 5 years term.

I agree to get a european president for 5 years, but I don't want him / her to be chosen by the heads of state. I would like to tell my opinion and elect him / her !

I don't understand why such an important project is not the major topic of debates in our newspapers. It's like the enlargment, that nobody talks about. :!:

What do you think about the Blair - Chirac - Aznar project?

If it could help us speak with one voice

Who is it?

A president of Europe will have to do efforts to be known in the 15 countries of the Union!
