SIR – The bookies’ favourite for president of the EU is Tony Blair.
Even the fact he is being considered for this post shows how undemocratic and electorally-corrupt the EU is. We will have no vote to choose the president yet the favourite is a man who is not even a member of our parliament and who refused to let us have a referendum on the treaty which could mean he will be our president. Clearly Blair was more interested in his future career than in democracy.
This is a man who failed us as Prime Minister yet, if appointed by his mates in the EU, will represent the EU and all its members countries. Our Prime Minister will report to him. This is a shameful slap in the face to the electorate of this country and shows the only way we can bring democracy back is to leave the EU.
