JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER : NOW A QUICK VOTE TO ENSURE HIS ELECTION !

Having convinced everyone that Jean-Claude Juncker is the one and only suitable candidate to be the next President of the EU Commission, Chancellor Merkel will now push for a swift vote in the EU Parliament to ratify her choice and ensure his election as President ! 

It would be very convenient if this "problem" could be settled before the Summer recess scheduled for end July to 31 August 2014.  The vote in the EU Parliament is due to take place on 14/17 July.

To help her, Chancellor Merkel can count on the untiring services of José Manuel Barroso, the last nominated and unelected President of the EU Commission for the last  10 years.  Chancellor Merkel can also count on the 92 German MEPs to help ensure a majority vote in a Parliament which has 751 members. 

However a majority vote for Juncker may not really be a foregone conclusion.  He is recognized as being a dour and fervent slave of total EUROZONE domination of Europe.  The recent EU elections of MEPs has also, however, revealed that changes of principles and of politics in the EU are wanted and expected by the electorate.   

This could lead to delays if newly elected MEPs become stubborn about rubber-stamping Juncker as President ! Will he make a speech to the EU Parliament to introduce his ideas and convince MEPs how he will be "their man" if they elect him ?
