MEPs from the European People’s Party say they’ll back Mr Cardiff’s appointment, making almost certain he’ll have enough votes to secure the position.
However, the United Left Alliance’s voting block – the 34-strong European United Left – say they will oppose Cardiff’s bid.
Socialist Party MEP Paul Murphy says Cardiff’s nomination is a cynical move by the Government to free up a space in the Department of Finance.
