If it's down to politics WH will win. If it's down to economics we'll get it. I think there are too many level headed people on the board to be swayed by public opinion and we'll get it (also does a conservative government really care about Labour boroughs of Haringey and Newham?)
At some point this year, a senior Conservative politician, presumably Boris, encouraged Tottenham to bid. Whether they will live with the fallout from no track is another question, but they obviously didn't fancy the West Ham bid.
