The fact that she got to be head of the EU diplomatic service with zero experience when nobody in this country knows who she is despite spending all but the last year in national politics speaks volumes about the EU.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775753218753337766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093560390959788459.post-20952787594724415652009-11-20T13:40:49.550+00:002009-11-20T13:40:49.550+00:00She is married to Kellner of YouGov - NuLab's ...She is married to Kellner of YouGov - NuLab's favourite tame polling team.
