Who will be the first "President of Europe"?

Forecast: Someone Else (38% chance )
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Someone Else with a probability of 38% (unchanged in last 1 day)

The EU council of ministers will soon have a permanent chair called the president. This role and several others will be decided in the second half of the year. There are a number of current contenders, will one of them be selected? It is not an elected role.

Question suspends in 14 weeks
All questions are settled by Hubdub according to settlement info provided by the question creator.

Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source. It sounds like this will happen in the summer after the French presidency of the EU ends. So I'm putting Sept 1, but if a solid date is set for the appointment it should be changed to that. read less

Bono probably has a better shot than Bertie Ahern (on whom I bet), now that Ahern has had to resign his post amid scandal in Ireland.
