Crucial vote on new Commission team postponed

The saga of the controversial new commissioners continues.

A crucial vote today by the European Parliament on the new team of European Commissioners has been postponed after it became clear that a majority in favour of the Commission was not likely to be reached. Incoming Commission President Jose Manuel Durao Barroso asked for the vote to be delayed so that he can reshuffle the portfolio in his team.

So thats one for the politically correct view and one against the idea that people should be free to have their own ideas. The funny thing is that they are claiming to be acting on behalf of the citizens.
