Who would you like to see as President of the US of E?

[Az]

we're so healthy we don't need a good healthcare system.

actually, I don't know what are they talking about in the WHO survey. Israeli healthcare is rather good, really. My father got himself a liver transplant, and gets most of the medication for free.

Why would that be more fair than any other nationality?

The sheer size of the German race in Europe. The combined populations of Germany and Austria is well over 90 Million.

Yeah, but that is still a minority when one considers that the population of Europe is over 650 million. That's rather like saying a white male should be president of the US, since they happen to be the largest of the minorities.

I say, let it be a Dutch president.

How about Luxembourgish Jean-Claude Juncker seems fairly competent. Got to remember that French people won't vote for a German and vice versa, English people won't vote for French or german and all that stuff. A smaller country has a far greater chance to get someone in.

How about a German Frenchman from Strasbourg?

I think that the euros should designate Luxembourg in a similar way that D.C. was designated and build a new capital there.

No!

Not a second before the commision is nothing but a simple government and the elected members are some, who REALLY think, they are doing the a decent job (and that they ACT so) and that they are not only taking care of the own business/personal econony.

sh?t happens when the feelings runs too fast.

I do not want to see anyone.

I do not want a president, before the "administration" is working.

First, a membership of the paliament should be wanted because "one" have a job to do there. And not as some sort of an retire-job (or becuase the seat back home is occupied by another). Ohh and no because of the lack of control on how they use their "own" budgets either.

Second: The commision should be elected EITHER by the paliament OR direct by the people of EU.

When these things are working - then it is time to look for some kind of a president ( some might call it a Chairman ....... ).

This will come when the EU will become the federal government of europe, with some real powers, with a EU constitution, an EU court, an EU federal police, etc. etc. EU economic policy.

Our own Martti Ahtisaari. He's a good negotiator, and worked in UN.

Also, during the last decade, he has done everything what a good president has done,
stuff like corruption, rewarding cruel dictators with shiny medals, and getting hurt at Swedish
nightclub while being drunk as dell.

Uhm, Azazel, if I were you I wouldn't be telling everyone this. I hope you do know that most organs come from poor Moldavians and Turks... Turkey has a very good organ maffia that sells organs to the Israelis, and very often they get their organs from Moldavians (Moldavia, which is a rather small and unknown country in Europe) for just about $5000. In most cases these people are so desperate they will get their organs (or parts of it, if they still wish to keep on living that is...) removed (a kidney for example).

A stupid thing, because those few dollars are spent within months and they're back again where the started, but physically weaker and so even less capable of doing hard labour..

Btw, paiktis, your big list there is bollox

I KNOW that the quality of our medical qualities are better than those of say the netherlands...

here you can go to every kind of doctor you want, instantly, and for most treatments you get nearly everything back from social securities ( so here EVERYONE, be it poor or rich, can have the same access to treatments that cost a lot of money)

I see that in many other countries, you have to go to the same doctor (if you want to visit a specialist you have to ask your regular doctor etc... amazing stuff!) and you can't take another one, even if you move out of town to some place 100km further, you have to keep going to that particular doctor, which is absolute **** of course...
