#Eurogroup first round voting between three candidates is imminent. A reminder: the candidate with least votes will be asked to drop out if no-one reaches 10 votes. They keep going until someone does 👑

🔔#Eurogroup We head to a second round of votes after no candidates wins required 10 votes after the first attempt

Second round taking place in 20 mins. First round suggests that two candidates with lowest number of votes tied and the leader didn't get 10 needed. A 5,5,9 maybe?

🔔 #Eurogroup Luxembourg's Pierre Gramegna drops out of the race, leaving 🇪🇸 v 🇮🇪 in round 2. The first to 10 wins

So Eurogroup comes down to a contest of centre left v centre right, man v woman, big country v small and Hansa v the rest

BREAKING: Ireland's Paschal Donohoe is the new president of the Eurogroup, beating Spain's Nadia Calvino in a second round vote

Who says Hansa has no sense of humour ?

Results of the #Eurogroup vote are secret but what is clear is that the candidates backed by the eurozone biggest member states - Germany, France, Italy, and Spain - lost out to coalition of the little guys
