'President' Blair

'President' Blair would:

1. Undermine UK-EU relations for the next 5 years (the Conservatives would have an excuse to sabotage the Lisbon Treaty and all that it entails),

2. Heavily burden relations between EU and the Muslim world (who'd be appalled by the EU choosing one of the initiators of the Iraq war and the 'Envoy to the Middle East' whose appointment there has so far not shown any results (!) as their leader(!),

3. Certainly not energise EU-US relations: Blair belongs to the Bush era (!),

4. Discredit the EU as a whole for not having found a leader with more integrity and better European credentials (as someone coming from a country that is neither in Schengen nor has the euro. Having said that, him coming from the UK would be the least of our problems, and another, pro-European, UK candidate may actually be acceptable).

President Miliband?
President Juncker?
President Robinson?
President Balkenende?

Anyone would be more suited that Blair.
