Who did you vote for to be President?

[RichardCranium]

Dammit, I forgot to vote.

Who did you vote for to be your President? I didn't vote for this dodgy looking loon - "Belgian PM named as EU president"

Link.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Herman van Rompuy

Sounds like a dodgy European porn actor.

Europe wanted a 'face' for the world stage so the French and Germans picked a nobody so their own influence wasn't diminished, pointless.

He was made PM of Belgium because he's a nobody. The Flemish and the Walloons were squabbling and couldn't form a coalition for several months so they picked the candidate none of them hated because nobody had heard of him.

So they picked a "John Major" type to be president of Europe ... that' s just G-R-E-A-T, make a joke of our region why not.

And I'm not happy about this UK labour hag being appointed his 'second in command' or at least having a security and foreign affairs role.

[Lockhouse]

I notice the BBC's "Have Your Say" on the matter is not in the normal format. Obviously most people told them exactly what they thought!

[BrilloPad]

I voted for Gordon Brown.

Anything to get rid of the useless tosser.

[EternalOptimist]

Well I am not sure about stopping the traffic, but Baroness Ashtons face would stop a clock.
As they say round here

[Churchill]

Just a quick question...

"Does it f**king matter?"
