THE ego of some politicians is remarkable. Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York City for two terms of office, wants the law changed so that he can stand for election for a third term next autumn. Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France and currently President of the European Union's Council of Ministers, is floating the idea that he should become a kind-of EU economic president when his present presidential term is over at the end of December. He argues that the current economic crisis needs continuity and strong handling, especially since neither of the 2009 presidencies, the Czech Republic followed by Sweden, is a member of the 15-member eurozone - nor is Britain, but Mr Sarkozy says that Gordon Brown must nonetheless be a member of the eurogroup summits that would form the core of his proposed economic presidency.
