Let’s just vote for someone else, ignore the vote and make her NATO Chief instead…
Typical EPP move.
I really hate that they did that, cause the whole Spitzenkandidat process really seemed like a great way to get people to pay more attention to EU politics and the EU parliament.
This is not confirmed yet. And anyway, can you imagine Manfred Webber president of the commission? It would have been so much worse. I'm in favor of the Spitzenkandidat if we get transnational lists and parties running with their European affiliation on the ballot.
Do you think France or any of the others would agree to another German after Ursula? There’ll be cries of Germany running the EU
Can you elaborate on what is not confirmed yet?
Manfred Weber would have been a bad choice, but Von der Leyens election was not very democratic
