Not necessarily, all I'm saying is if someone can have a dual alignment and an easy way to pick that out publicly is their citizenship. Surely if you are from another country you're likely to have an emotional bias for your own country? If you're British you're likely to have a bias but less so. Everyone has a political opinion.

Brits have a foreign central bank governor and they seem okay with that, if anything he's absolutely brilliant according to me. It's also the first i've ever seen a country use foreign talent at such a prestigious role.

When setting laws for something of such magnitude there is a clear conflict of interest. They are negotiating against a plethora of EU countries who have lots of people working in academia. A British citizen-only would not have a conflict of interest as such.
