Irish vote sends Tony Blair racing to EU presidency

Germany and France aim to be kingmakers as revitalised European Union prepares to give former PM Blair the top job

Yet its first official, permanent president of the council will be chosen in the least democratic of ways – behind closed doors by the 27 EU heads of state and government and without any of the candidates having campaigned before the court of public opinion.
