"UK 'backs Blair for EU president' " (update)

I knew I had posted something about Tony Blair's "ineligibility" to be EU President. Back in January 2008 I blogged that:

"Valérie Giscard d'Estaing, the former French president and the father of the now defunct EU constitutional treaty, said that Europe's first president must have majority support from his home country, which should be a nation that "respects all its European commitments". Something that he claimed Britain did not do.

"Tony Blair cannot be president of Europe," agreed Edouard Balladur, the former conservative French prime minister close to Mr Sarkozy, writing in yesterday's Le Monde newspaper."

Any comments Glenys Kinnock?
