I think you are underestimating the powers of government. Labour pledged to not change a currency without a referendum, but they may change that pledge in their next manifesto. The Tories will play safe and always say 'never', but then I would expect that from them.Originally Posted by eclectic-cynic
On a personal basis, I am no Labour lover, but I am a pragmatist. I think entry is inevitable, especially with a weak Pound.
Sometime ago i saw a video on britian moving towards EU by Philip day. I was scary... I am convinced the root of EU goes back to WWII and Hitler.

LOL!!)
Yes, there are plenty of people who believe the EU is an evil Nazi plot to revive the Third Reich. Hmmm.....I think not. In many ways the EU is getting closer to the old USSR than the Nazi empire. There is a lot I don't like about the EU, but I think we in the UK just need to make our minds up: we are either in properly or out properly. At the moment we seem to be in with one foot but out with the other. There needs to be clarity. I would rather we left altogether than not be part of the EU structure to the full.
Oh my. that sounds scary
Dear lord,
Should an Atlantican power adopt the currency of the European power?

Nothing can save Britain. :(Should Britain adopt the Euro?
No No No
when this resession is over and there is no doubt that Britain will come out first.
Europe will be grovelling in Euro's which will plunge to a exchange of 4 euros to the pound and $2.25 to the pound. how do i base this . I dream a lot
Yeah - you can only have this in your dreams!
These videos are made by a bunch of people who really should get a life. You can't disinvent the EU - it's there and you have to deal with it. Running away from it won't solve anything.
Unfortunately many people in Britain still believe Britain can influence what goes on in Europe, but it can't.
I believe a correction in the value of the Pound has been long overdue. A stong pound based on oil production has long caused attrition on British exports and manufacturing. Over the past few years, with NS oil production declining and reserves looking limited, the pound has been grossly overvalued. Now with a declining Pound and low interest rates manufacturing will be better placed for recovery after a 2009 grind.
Joining the Euro because of the current decline in the Pound looks like an unwarranted knee-jerk
The Poms adopt the Euro?
Not on your nellie, that stiff upper lip wouldn't allow them to slum it with the Euro. Their precious Pound is a symbol of all things British and lowering themselves to the level of Europe would not do well for that stuffed shirt lot.
But, they keep wanting to be part of Europe.
Maybe they've worked out that not all countries can be colonized and it may be time to pull their head in? But I somehow doubt it..

Why would a nation want to willingly give up their sovereignty and self determination to something like the EU?
Did they learn nothing from Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Ceausescu, and Stalin?
How so?

One thing I don't like about the Euro is that the coins are very low quality (at least I think they are). Not really that important but I like complaining.

The EU receives its political leadership from the European Council, which is composed of one representative per member state — either its head of state or head of government — plus the President of the Commission. Each member states' representative is assisted by its Foreign Minister. The Council uses its leadership role to sort out disputes which have arisen between member states and the institutions, and to resolve political crises and disagreements over controversial issues and policies.
The Council is headed by a rotating presidency, with every member state taking the helm of the EU for a period of six months during which that country's representatives chair meetings of the European Council and the Council of Ministers
