People might want to bite their nose of to spite their face but in general the winner will be whatever the markets want and not what a few egos choose.
I still think he was silly to sound triumphalistic (also did you note the Union Jack flag in front of him - I didn't see any other national flags on display!). It was interesting that Junker also got a few jeers when he declared that he was not a bureaucrat or a technocrat!
