Could the Czech's derail the plan for President Blair?

While all signs are that the Irish referendum on the EU Lisbon Treaty will be a yes vote, clearing the way for Ireland to ratify the treaty, a new threat has emerged in the form of senators from the Czech Republic. They want a review which would delay Czech ratification for several months. As all countries have to ratify it, it would delay Lisbon becoming EU Law.

Meanwhile in the UK, Rumours abound that Peter Mandleson's role in the cabinet is to prop up Gordon Brown to survive long enough in hope Lisbon is ratified. If not and the Tories win, the UK will have a referendum that would probably kill the treaty dead. The plan is that if the UK avoids this allowing the treaty to become law, the Blairite wing of the party would find enough favour across Europe to propel fromer Prime Minster Tony Blair (Remember him) to the newly created post of President of Europe.

The Czech move may just kill this plan dead, as if the UK then destroys the treaty in it's referendum, the chances of a British President of Europe will be zero, indeed the post will probably not even be created at all as the treaty has to become law for it to do so.
