The Irish approval of the Lisbon accord apparently paves the way for Tony Blair to be the first president of the EU.

“Senior British sources have told The Times that President Sarkozy has decided that Mr Blair is the best candidate and that Angela Merkel has softened her opposition.

The former Prime Minister could be ushered into the European Union’s top post at a summit on October 29.” (Times.UK)
