EU leaders have chosen the Belgian Prime Minister, Herman van Rompuy, to be the first permanent European Council President.
The other top job created by the Lisbon Treaty - foreign affairs supremo - has gone to the EU Trade Commissioner, Baroness Catherine Ashton from the UK.
Both are seen as consensual politicians with limited foreign policy experience.
Both had unanimous backing from the 27 EU leaders at the summit in Brussels, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
Earlier, the UK government had said it was no longer pushing for former PM Tony Blair to get the presidency post.

What do you guys think?

And for those who don't know this man could be president of the United States of Europe if the Lisbon Treaty goes ahead, the idea of the Lisbon treaty is to make Europe ONE COUNTRY instead of a continent....this would mean England is no longer a country but a state.

It'd be kinda weird to say London, Europe instead of London, England, or Berlin, Europe, instead of Berlin, Germany.

It would still be London, England.
Just like you'd say Dallas, Texas instead of Dallas, America.

Hmm the country's stay country's... at this moment.. But.. I'm a little scared that once.. Europa will be a country instead of a continent.. I live in the Netherlands XD But now I don't care..

It's only England, Germany, France and Spain that'll care...you know, the rich ones
