Symbols and context do matter in politics. The campaign by the UK to have at all cost one of the two positions was ungainly.
But what do you think of the large scale campaign mounted by Britain to get one of the two jobs, and do you think that it's amongst the first countries we should look to for a candidate for these EU-wide jobs? Why did the "no one from the big countries" somehow did not apply to the UK?
And no, that's not about Britain. I take precisely the same line when I hear Danish eurosceptics piss and moan about the €, or hear the Danish government demand an a la carte opt out from judicial cooperation (which as it happens they only do because they want to be in Frontex but don't want to accept any of the refugees that Frontex picks up in the Mediterranean).
Although I'll grant that Britain has better reasons to not be in the € than Denmark, on account of not already being pegged to the D-mark.
