Even MEP have expressed that this craziness has to stop.
Its a symbol of waste and stupidity and is an example what is wrong with the EU.
The objector to one Parliament in Brussels, are the French, who have a veto on the matter.

CLIVE... some 80 % of MEP want the system changed so there is just one seat of governance. However France holds the veto and its in their national interest having the Parliament for ONE week a month because they claim its good for their economy.No surprise there, when all the over paid visit for just four days.
