I had the occasion to wonder on this blog about the non-candidates, undeclared candidates, unofficial candidates, virtual candidates, eternal candidates, in petto candidates, hidden candidates, restrained candidates, candidates in waiting for the European Presidency.
The President will be in any case a President with no program, no platform, no Presidential Palace, no Presidential guard on horses, even not on Sedgeways, no ADC with the nuclear code.
He won't be elected either, because there is no Constitution requiring an election. Which is very befitting for non-candidates, not to get elected. Because he will be the product of a mere paper signed in Lisbon, which gives it its codename, the President, he will only be president, lower case.
Here is a blog about TB and the agony of being non-candidate: by the end of the day, do the supporters of those non-candidates want them to get the job because they are the best non-candidates, or because they want to get rid of them at home? That would make them pushed-out candidates.
May the candidate who has no opposition win. No opposition, until he takes that phone call from General Powell. That will look suspicious!
Keep Tony Blair for PM? The address is obviously outdated. He is as much PM as J.C. Juncker is a candidate for the Presidency. But both however are non-candidates, maybe undeclared ones.
