UK Prime Minister David Cameron has said the selection of Jean Claude-Juncker as the next European Commission president marks a "bad day for Europe".
He said it was a "serious mistake" for EU leaders to give ground to the European Parliament after they backed Mr Juncker by 26 votes to two.
He suggested that it would make it harder to reform the EU and it had "raised the stakes" over the process.
Labour accused Mr Cameron of an "abject failure of leadership".
The UK and Hungary were the only two countries to oppose the former Luxembourg leader in an unprecedented vote on whether he should be nominated for the EU's top job.
Mr Juncker, who must be endorsed by the European Parliament before taking the role, was the preferred candidate of the European People's Party (EPP), which is the largest group in the European Parliament.
BBC News - Cameron says Juncker choice is 'bad day for Europe'
Got news for Dave - it's called cking democracy, if he doesn't like it maybe he should gtf out of politics. The people of Europe elected the MEP's so they in turn decide on the voters behalf who the president of the EU is. cking idiot for calling for a vote on it really, he looks like the tw@ of Europe right now. Perhaps he ought to pick his dummy up and put it back in his mouth.
