The EU Seeks A President For The Union!

The Lisbon Constitution does not stipulate what the duties of the president will be. So asking prospective candidates to submit their names for that position, does not help anyone in deciding if he/she should run, because he/she will not know what is expected of him/her.

Therefore, it seems like the heads of states of each EU country, will be deciding (behind closed doors), who will be the preferred candidate. This does not auger well for Democracy, which this Union so boldly claims it upholds.

And whoever gets the nod, will not be the choice of the commonweal of all EU states.

And this final choice will also not be the choice of any election result of the entire EU commonweal either.

Selecting The President For The European Union!

The Lisbon Treaty does not stipulate what the President's duties would be. Therefore, selecting someone for that position without A Job Description may be very challenging indeed. So I would like to offer some suggestions:

* This person should be European first and foremost.

* He/she should be within the age range of 30 to 50 years of age. Not too old or too young, to appeal to wide cross section of the EU commonweal.

* He/she MUST be able to bring People together. Preferably someone with a history of mediator or conciliator of disputes.

* He/she may also be an academic or may have served for some time in a diplomatic situation or ambassadorial position.

* He/she MUST have a reputable and credible employment history, personal integrity, and the ability to express his/herself verbally, privately, and in publicly too.

* Finally, he/she aught to be Good looking, not Fat or Obese, (athletic may be an advantage), and with a progressive world outlook, with the ability to make compromises.
