He is a liar and cannot be trusted to act in the interest of the people. He will always work for the Americans.

William

yes

He has the political knowledge of the bigger picture regarding New World Order politics, the proper credentials and will be a major asset for Britain.

Daniele

Absolutely not! He has never shown the slightest enthusiasm for Europe, he is a liar and a fraud, and he is a war criminal.

Furthermore I don't think it should go to a British politician when Britain would love to be the 51st State of America, behaves like a poodle to the Americans, goes to war with them whenever summoned, and tries to block whatever the EU tries to achieve .Britain is not even in the Euro zone for Goodness sake! If there was a Referendum tomorrow about Europe, Britain would be out of Europe with a big majority.
So I don't understand how Tony Blair, the lackey to the Americans could even be considered. If it was to bring Britain into Europe, they could at least choose an openly pro-European politician!

That would be a joke!

His speciality is the use of spin doctors and propaganda, he is not a honest person, and especially his lies about alleged evidence for "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq are well-known.

no

His performance as a Middle East negotiator has been dire. In any case, his attack on Iraq was illegal and based on a pack of lies in the infamous WMD dossier

Hasn't he done enough damage to Britain and the world already?

Mbho

yes

I think he has what it takes to be president of EU and is familiar with EU and world politics.

Mbho

yes

He has everything it takes to be President of EU and has knowledge and experience of EU and world politics. He deserves it.

Tony Blair is a war criminal and should be tried as such. Besides, in the role of EU President he'll just be an American puppet (not that he wasn't all along), as he is as Middle East Envoy.

Frankly, it would be an insult to the intelligence of anyone, anywhere to promote the wee nyaff to such a position.

Dear Father Christmas,

What I want for Christmas is for Tony Blair to be made President of the EU.

All my love

no

He is as guilty as Milosevic and should be treated as such.

O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!
My tables—meet it is I set it down
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain—
At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark.

no

Of course not. He's a cold-blooded war crimial. If anything, he should be sent to the international criminal court in Hague and tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

A real shame onto the proud British people.

He represents all that is bad about the majority of world leaders today: arrogant, militaristic, grey-suited, men. Bring on Mary Robinson.

Just Observer
22 October 2009

no

No way. Where is this world getting to? how can such a question even be contemplated? He needs to be tried before the International Court of Justice for war crimes in Iraq.

timbo

no

It would be obsecene for Mr Blair to be given such a post inlight of his reckless waste of fellow countrymen's lives in the Middle East.

Keir H

Iraq!

PeterC
22 October 2009

no

Definitely not. He's done enough damage already and has been paid handsomely for it, more to our shame.

No point, he is going to be arrested

no

The vote tally says it all with 72% NO but this is more the reason for the Bilderberg, CFR, TC and the rest of the fascist clique of the world to put him in that job, after all they run the world, same as giving Obama the Nobel "War Prize" with only 11-days in office, as we proceed along the situation in the world becomes progressively worse until the nuclear missiles start flying. And flying they will, the only thing is when, 2010. 2012, 2015.

Godfrey

no

Absolutely not!! This man has lowered the morals of this nation. Mr Blair and his wife are out to fleece the world, mind you they are good at it.
History will be worth reading in 50 years time.

24 October 2009

yes

He is more of a world statesman, and probably more honest than the rest of our remaining British,"fiddling" political class On reflection, perhaps we could ask Ms. J.Smith to try her hand - she'd waste no time in getting her nose in the trough, her excesses may even spark the EU to clean up its'act too!

Stephen

no

There is only one reason why it might be a good thing: to discomfort the Tories if they should get in. But even that is not quite a strong enough a reason to give that man more power to misuse.

Warmonger and liar!

If thou consent to freedom for the rich in the city and givest freedom to the freeholders in the country,and to priests and lawyers and lords of manors and yet allowest the poor no freedom thou art a declared hypocrite!

no

This man has proved himself to be the worst kind of political opportunist, now he wants to take advantage of a system of appointment without the risk of an election.

Khan

The only place that Tony Blair should be is in prison for crimes against humanity. So I vote NO.

JWB

NO.

Winstanley must have known what was coming. We the poor, disenfranchised, are still waiting.

Warmonger, liar and suck-up artist to the rich and powerful. The post of President of the EU will forever be tainted by the whiff of corruption and sulphur if this integrity-free zone wins. Not that I think the new role is a good idea anyway ...

Mrs Nobody
26 October 2009

no

No.

He should be tried for war crimes.

eugene
27 October 2009

no

He's a war criminal who has no place on the international stage. He lied to the British People so how can he be trusted as EU president.

Paul
28 October 2009

no

Apart from the obvious problem of his being an alleged war criminal, what image would Blair manifest for an already struggling EU. He is unpoular within the EU; he is unpopular in the wider world. He might 'stop the traffic' but why should the EU carry his burden?

SarahC
29 October 2009

yes

Of course he should. His international standing and abilities are outstanding. We should be delighted that the first European President is likely to be a former Labour Prime Minister. What is wrong with you all?

nwlord

no

As someone who renounced his british citizenship and became a european as a reaction to his illegal and immoral Iraq war, I certainly don't want this war criminal in any position of authority over me.
