    Game of Thrones - EU Edition

    The contest to fill Europe's top political posts will require another summit to achieve resolution, with deadlock at this week's European Council meeting. In terms of the Commission, Manfred Weber (EPP), Frans Timmermans (PES) and Margrethe Vestager (Renew Europe, the new name for ALDE) were all rejected, leaving the opening available for Michel Barnier as the compromise candidate. Jens Weidmann of Germany is current favourite to replace Mario Draghi as Governor of the ECB, while the European Council and European Parliament presidencies are even harder to call at present.

    I presume that Ray Winstone is offering a four way parlay with 10 free pounds?

      Perhaps having italians in charge of the European bankinng system wasn't the best look.

        Draghi would be the first person to agree with that

          It's not just him though, wasn't there one or two others in top banking related jobs as well?

            Not that I recall specifically, but any who were there would have been ex-colleagues from Goldman or the Treasury. He doesn't suffer foolish underlings gladly.

              Andrea Enria ran the EBA until recently, and now runs the SSM.
