    I think that you are a too harsh and unfair with Jean Claude Juncker.

    He may have problems with alcohol (other politicians do as well and it's a sickness in the end) and he was massively involved in tax evation as prime minister for Luxemburg.

    On the other side, he has massive merits in leading the EU and keeping things together for a long time (and may I add that the task of keeping 28 different and independent countries together is a huge one!).
    I agree with you that he's outdated now and his time is over but he deserves credit for his work for the EU.

    Just because you don't like the EU per se does not mean that it's not good for many people that are living in the EU.

    I don't dislike juncker or the Eu, I just don't think it works in its current form, and I don't think juncker is the best person for the job.
    Would you take your car to an alcoholic technician who evades tax?

    As long as he's sober when "being on the job", I have no problem with that.
    Job is job and private is private.

    I can only speak about watchmakers, I knew many with alcohol problems.
    Actually the alcoholics where much better than the others :D

    As said, keeping 28 countries together (most of them with divided populations with diverging interests and values among themselfs) is a massive task and I can't see anyone who could do that better than Juncker.

    Maybe we should suggest Farage for the job (Isn't he obviously an alcoholic as well?) :v

    :)) no thanks, the only thing I'd like farage to be in charge of is a country pub.

    Higgins makes out he's German, but he has a picture from an American TV show, writes in English and has a signature in French!

    He is all things to all people, and consequently not to be trusted. :D
