I don't think it should go to an institution whether the institution is the EU or not. Seems a bit daft to me and not what the prize was intended for.

However doesn't everyone know that a big reason the Common Market, (which evolved into the EEC and then the EU) was set up was the political desire to avoid another European war? No one can deny it has achieved that so I assume that is why it won the prize.

As I said though giving it to an institution of any kind doesn't seem right to me.

I'd have given it jointly to Blair and Bush for their War on Terror.

It,s going well.

Sam Tomkins should be in the running, surely?

Probably too late for this year, but how about Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani standing up for girls' education – and shot by the Taliban?

Split it between Thatcher, Blair and Bush.

NATO has had plenty to do with that particular achievement.

That would be a good idea and I only found out today she is being treated in Birmingham. I hope she recovers soon and is back to her usual self before the cowards shot her. She might be safer off here as I think the Taliban are going after her again.
