Title: Politics Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 02:15:01 Labour's new agenda. What was expected really. I do hope that we don't enter the euro though - could be a major cock up on Blair's part if we makes steps towards it. As far as the EU constitution goes I haven't yet formed an opinion

I tend to look at the whole save the pound thing as a bit of out-dated 'we're better than the rest of europe blah blah blah rubbish'

Title: Politics Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 15:23:58 I'm not sure it makes sense to go into the Euro though. I mean, won't we lose control over interest rates and such matters?
Title: Politics Post by: dogs on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 15:27:28 Yep we would. In practical terms it sounds a good idea that you could travel around europe using the same currency. Yet economically it makes no sense for Britain to join as the economy is fairing a lot better being out of it. In other words the countries in the euro zone need us a lot more than we them, this of course all being at the present time.

European countries ecomomic structure, ie where each country get their revenue from, are to diverse to have a single economic policy in my opinion.
