Tony Blair for president? Chief economics correspondent for the Guardian, Larry Elliott, has - perhaps only half-jokingly - put Tony Blair forward as a candidate to run the Bank. In an excellent piece capturing as much steak as sizzle over the content of this weekend's spring meetings in Washington, Elliott argues that the leadership selection process for the Bank and Fund must be fixed: "The Europeans should make it clear they would veto an unsuitable Bush nomination for the Bank, and to make things easier they should give up the right to nominate the next managing director of the IMF. That would give Bush the chance to nominate someone to the job who was non-American but who had a commitment to development and was liked by the White House. Tony Blair, perhaps?" Word is he'll be looking for a job in a few weeks. Jeff Powell ~ April 16, 2007
