Gordon Brown's been moaning all week about Obama not speaking with him, at least this will calm him down now.

Tony Blair is in line to be proclaimed Europe’s first president within weeks if the Irish vote “yes” in today’s referendum.

Senior British sources have told The Times that President Sarkozy has decided that Mr Blair is the best candidate and that Angela Merkel has softened her opposition.

The former Prime Minister could be ushered into the European Union’s top post at a summit on October 29.

Ms Merkel, the German Chancellor, was opposed to Mr Blair because she believed that the post should go to a country that had adopted the euro but British sources said that she may now be “biddable” if Germany and France get plum posts in the new European Commission.

I think it's because what most people call socialism in us isn't the same thing people outside us knows as socialism

i am fully aware of the differences. most people in the USA have no clue what socialism actually entails and it has become a buzzword from the right for anyone remotely liberal. i was under the impression that PASOK was a legitimate socialist party, but from just browsing the wiki page for them it appears theyre basically just a european styled social democrat party.

I'm not talking about that people just like adding "socialist" to party names for example "national socialism"

"Real" socialism wouldn't be an improvement for anyone

they are pretty much a centrist party, but they've been hardly socialist for the past like thirty years.

or how would you like the idea of three centrist parties (the major ones), one unbound green party (but basically right-wing), populistic party (TRUE FINNS ahhaha) and christian-democrat party?!? also don't say communist party, it's in a really bad shape right now (change in leadership ONLY BAD CANDINATES)

at least you guys have more than two viable parties. we have a center-right party and a conservative party.

nah man thats the point really. the democratic and republican parties are essentially just two opposing factions of the same party. there really is no choice on the vast majority of issues.
