Current Affairs The Labour Party

Smartest guy in the world, yet doesn't know this rather basic fact. The President of the European Commission (Juncker) is nominated by the European Council (who, lest we forget, are the elected heads of the 28 member states), before then being voted on by the European parliament, who have the final approval/veto on the appointment.

The President of the European Council (Tusk) is selected by the elected heads of the 28 member states. If you want to get pedantic and say we don't vote for them, then we don't vote for the prime minister either, as they're chosen in the same way by their party.

The President of the European Parliament (Tajani) is elected from MEPs.

So all three presidents in the EU are chosen by elected representatives.

So when Cameron opposed Junckers appointment, which he did publicly, how did that work out......

You said we had a veto, the 48% didn’t, although now it appears that they do.......

The young don’t have a monopoly on naivety and the old don’t have a monopoly on wisdom.

They do....

Unfortunately, you are a proof that they don’t.

Not sure if you’re attempting humour or just don’t get the joke.

Keir Starmer's hairdo looks ridiculous. He'd just about get away with it if he was an 18-year-old surfer.

Don't BBC just use the Yougov poll which was where the problem is as they had Labour 5 points behind the Tories?

Unless you live in Islington North you are not voting for Corbyn.
Local MPs and the local party matter hugely in gaining votes
