Quelle surprise - still no new EPO President

By Johanna Gibson, David Pearce, Jeremy Phillips and Ilanah Simon.

As Joff Wild noted earlier today, and the EPO have just confirmed, the EPO's Administrative Council has failed yet again to select a successor to Alison Brimelow for EPO President.  At the latest meeting, none of the three remaining candidates received the required 75% of the votes to make it.  The AC will apparently now try yet again when they meet in March.

The IPKat thinks that this is making the Administrative Council look increasingly ridiculous.  After three attempts, surely some bright spark could come up with a better idea than just to carry on with what looks like a slow war of attrition.  Do any of the IPKat's readers have any ideas?
