Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, best known as Tony Blair was the prime minister of Britain from May of 1997 to June 2007. Also he was a member of the parliament from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. It is said that Blair is the Labour Party’s longest serving Prime Minister. He had been the only person in the Labour Party to win 3 consecutive general elections, and also He had been the only Labour Prime Minister to serve consecutive term, ones were of more than four years long. As we can see he has a really good politician profile.
The ex-prime minister of Britain is the leading candidate to become the first President of the European Union. This is a point of the Lisboan Treaty that would come formalize in 2009 if every country is in favor just if all the countries accept it. Czech Republic is one if the countries that haven’t accept this treaty.
Blair has the support of many countries like France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, Slovenia, Hungary and obviously Britain. The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, was the first one to propose that Blair have to be the first president. The president of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapartero, accept that Blair became the president of Europe, but obviously he prefer that Felipe Gonzalez, the ex president of Spain, take this position. Gonzalez said that he didn’t want this president job.
He also counts with countries that are against his president of the European Union. Some if these countries are Austria, Luxembourg and Belgium. Angela Merkel doesn’t like the idea of Blair being the president of the European Union.
