Stop Barroso – too little too late?

Stop Barroso is a nice campaign by the greens with a very funny video (via Anyone but Barroso) .  “In the absence of a firm agenda from him, perhaps we  take this as his programme for government?” asks The European Citizen blog.

Although I fully support the campaign and the idea behind it I partly agree with Tony Barber who argues (among other things that are more debatable…)  that all these things come a bit late and indeed should have been done before the European elections as part of the campaigns:

Each (political party) should have rallied behind a candidate of their choice.  But they did not.  The socialists were too divided even to come up with a candidate of their own.  The opportunity was lost.  It was their own fault.
