David Cameron Suffered A Set Back

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has suffered a setback in his battle to prevent Jean-Claude Juncker from  getting the European Union's top job.

Mr Cameron has made a direct appeal to voters in Ireland, France and Germany to back a candidate who will change the way Brussels is run. 

He called for bold leadership for the European Commission.  But the main centre-left and centre right groups in the European Parliament have joined forces to back Mr Juncker. 

Manfred Weber, head of the European People's Party, the main centre-right group, said there is growing support for Juncker at all levels.

He noted that choosing any other candidate would trigger a constitutional crisis".
