And, quite right, too. Though, it is hard to think of anybody who has been around for a while, that is, anyone capable of doing the job of commissioner, not having some reason for some cadre in the parliament, to object. So, I'm thinking that the 'nuclear option' arrangement is probably a good one. Its nice to see an EU process working so clearly as it should.
