There are plenty of a priori reasons to oppose anything brokered by EPP-PES. Particularly anything they've brokered with the US State Department.

But we are also far enough along the process that we do not actually need to make any decision a priori. There's plenty of data to go by in the conduct of the process alone, and all that data points toward the proverbial fix being in.
