    The Lysander parts are now made in Germany and stuck in customs. Meanwhile the Thistle Hotel Heathrow has spontaneously combusted in disgust and scoots escaped.

    Not quite. She had no competition, yet still only scraped through the vote of MEPs. Mrs May may have nominated her (I hope to God she didn't, because this mad loon looks like she'll make Juncker seem totally reasonable, but that's a discussion for another day).
    Only scraped through = elected. And can still be rejected (democratically) when the Commission is determined.

    HTH, BIDI. it seems like you have a pathological desire not to understand the process.

    My Presidents all happen to be elected. The EU one was elected by the U.K. Prime Minister as a member of the Council on our behalf.

    Edit: and approved by MEPs, also on our behalf....

    I'm guessing that to ensure you get minimum access to a mature market your USP will be that you will only accept bit coin payments?

    I suspect that the more entrepreneurial types on this side of the water will make it work, despite the best efforts of politicians of all stripes.
