thats what people call them, though technically they are different to the traditional tory party, they split from them, its kind of a nickname for them more than anything now, though I can think of a few other nicknames that Id like to call them

Oh okay, thx =p.

Anyway I am off to bed soon,  I wonder who it will be and if someone will be chosen.  Just read Germany and France are behind van Rompuy must be hard debate their in Brussels.

I hope I can catch some sleep.....*So nervous*.

Hmm? I think you may be a little too young to remember when new Labour came in, in the late 90's. I was only 12 at the time though. Anyway, when Tony Blair first came in he reformed a lot of the public services (and a few other things), after a couple of years though he lost it a bit.

This is like the arch-cardinals choosing a new Pope. It's the Holy Roman Empire all over again.

Is this why Tony converted to Catholicism after leaving office?

Just confirmed, Herman Van Rompuy will be the first European President.

I wonder what this'll mean for Belgium. The country has been pretty instable during the last few years.

its the later years im more familiar with but I agree that Labour have improved the public services though, they could go alot further imo

Haha. Belgium makes perfect sense. Is he a walloon or a fleming?

flemish.

Van rompuy is European in the first place;


BTW Catherine Ashton (UK) becomes minister of Foreign Affairs....So UK won something as well.



Foreign affairs sounds better suited for an UK candidate if I think about it.

You mean this could mean we have stories again about the end of Belgium?

Oh goddamned  let them wait a few weeks with that I am getting my Belgian passport in three weeks XD.
