That depends, as always, on how you frame the questions! This discussion has oft quoted, Yes, Minister/Prime Minister {UK TV series} and one of the best is when the Minister decides to set up an inquiry and the first question from his senior civil servant: "What conclusion do you want the inquiry to give?"
I am have always supported R3 but have long concluded that it will never be built as the timing has been missed. The Euro and ME3 hubs have taken the job and the expansion pendulum is swinging steadily East. Not to mention the next big financial crash that is due for the West and the UK will feature strongly in that.
