Ganley is busily trying to turn his think tank into an EU-wide political party. As if that were not bad enough in itself, he wants that party to campaign for a President of the European Union modelled on the President of the United States.
This is fully in keeping, not only with the policy of every American Administration since the 1940s, but also with the Statement of Principles of the Henry Jackson Society, which calls for a single EU defence "capability" under overall American command and run by the Germans, although that role may now have passed to the French in these days of Sarkozy.
When Cameron made Andrew Adonis Education Secretary and William Hague a European Commissioner (a job to which, as a non-bastard Cabinet Minister from the Maastricht days, he would be perfectly suited), he would confer the position of Foreign Secretary on Michael Gove. Of the Henry Jackson Society.
You have been warned.
