#3 "...a man who prefers the secret, early-hours deal-making to the role of open persuader..."

Completely contrasting UKIP's Nigel Farage, now MEP, who is adept at convincing open forums and probably a non-bureaucrat. It'll be interesting to see who comes out the best between the two.

If there is a fall this guy will be instrumental.

#4 Just the guy to make sure UKIP and the other parties in the peoples of Europe outside the UK do well.

The EUSSR politburo couldn't give a bigger "up yours" to the citizens of Europes peoples.

#5 This guy is the EU equivalent of the IRS crashed hard drive.
They're saying "When we want your opinion, we'll give you one."

#6 lead the EU in a fresh direction

WTF? This is equivalent to expecting the MoBros to lead the Muslims in a fresh direction. This is a strong statement in favor of complete integration of all the EU into an un-democratic centrally controlled state.

#7 From what I've read, Juncker is an idiot and a hack's hack. He'll do just fine making the EU more of a laughingstock.

#8 Junker apparently likes a glass or two or three or four.
