Nobody knows whether the current prime ministers of the EU’s 27 member countries will choose Blair. There is considerable lingering ill will over his role in the invasion of Iraq, and there is the inconvenient fact that he is from Euro-skeptic Britain, and that many on the left view him as a leader whose “third way” was a betrayal of socialism.
没有人知道欧盟27个成员国的现任首相是否会选择布莱尔。人们对他在入侵伊拉克时所起的作用耿耿于怀，另外一个不利的事实是他来自对欧盟抱有怀疑态度的英国，更有甚者，左翼阵线中有太多人认为他所谓的“第三条道路”就是对社会主义的背叛。
