The East Europeans know it was a stitch up by the West Europeans. One of them even refused to vote as a result. I couldn’t care less what the EU wishes to do with its institutions, but I would have thought that criteria would have been the defining answer and not the spin of a coin. Perhaps we could do the same with any Brexit bill, or War, or Elections. If the U.K. decided where to put one of its institutions on the spin of a coin there would be justifiable outrage......
But Pete that's the very thing again you say it was a simple flip of the coin but you know that's not true.
Again read the article. It said it took a vote on various locations and i'm guessing based on criteria it was felt a lot of those were not suitable. But when it came to these two cities they were split on the vote.
Both cities obviously were attractive based on whatever criteria was defined.
The "spin of the coin" as you put it was to separate them. I don't think anyone will lose any sleep over it except maybe you? Oh that's right you don't care though even though you seem to care enough to spend time lambasting their technique.
Also you mentioned to Tubey about asking their employees where they would like to go really Pete? You think that's how any business or organisation works when moving?
Not on your life Pete companies and organisations move all of the time despite what their employees think. I would imagine the committee representing each organisation were probably part of any vote anyway but even if they were not it doesn't matter as their boss moved them to were they felt best.
