Tony Blair is being actively touted for the position of the European Union's first full-time president by new French president Nicolas Sarkozy, it has been reported. Mr Sarkozy has discussed the idea with other EU leaders, including German chancellor Angela Merkel, prior to next week's summit in Berlin, according to the Financial Times. However Downing Street insisted that Mr Blair had no interest in taking on a new, high-profile political job when he steps down as Prime Minster on June 27. "The Prime Minister has made it clear that he is not going to return to frontline politics," said a Number 10 spokeswoman. Under proposals being considered by the EU, the new president of the European Council would be a permanent replacement for the EU's rotating, six-month presidency. The president would have few formal powers, but would give the EU strategic leadership and represent it on the world stage on issues such as climate change.(Daily Mail) The World

Ranks within the echelons of 'the Eagle' and 'the Lion' most certainly have provided their word. But there appears to be other campaigns for this user of the blazing sword to become involved in. His is an anvil linked to many trigger words.
