Is Blair lining up his new job?

The News of The World today is reporting that Blair is to sign the resurrected European Constitution without going to the country for a referendum, like he promised the last time it was attempted to be introduced.

The Constitution will set up a European President and a Foreign Minister, two jobs which Blair is bound to be interested in. These two positions will be key to international relations for Europe and therefore whoever holds them will hold quite a bit of power and in true European style be unaccountable to the people, ideal for Blair then!

Perfect timing for Blair then in the year he will step down, that one of his last acts as Prime Minister will be to sign a treaty creating a position ideal for him, which will allow him to continue in a position above Brown.
