Tuesday 03 November 2009 at 11:12
 First Permanent President Of The European Council Betting Odds are available with Paddy Power and even though former Prime Minister Tony Blair has been well touted for the role, he is not the favourite according to Paddy Power.
Tony Blair Second Best Behind Jan Peter Balkenende
The favourite to become First Permanent President Of The European Council is Jan Peter Balkenende and he can be backed at 9/4 with Paddy Power. For those not familiar with the name, he is the current Prime Minister of the Netherlands and he has emerged as the front runner for the role. Tony Blair will be a more familiar name to many and he is the second favourite at 11/4 with Paddy Power meaning he still has an excellent chance should he wish to take up the role of President Of The European Council.
Two More Strong Contenders Are Also Prime Ministers
There are two other very strong contenders, Herman Van Rompuy, the current Prime Minister of Belgium is just behind Blair at 3/1 with Paddy Power whilst Jean Claude Juncker, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, is 4/1 with Paddy Power.
