As the other incredible sensible, intelligent and almost certainly exceptionally physically attractive to the point of a minor god- because of the reasons they stated.
As far as the British are concerned there are far more cons to the Euro than possible pros.
As the German and Italian answerers pointed out (Guten Tag and Buongiornio to you two) inflation has been rampant since the changeover from separate national currencies to the Euro- despite the fact that the Euro-philes told everyone nothing was to change- ti was complete rubbish.
The British politicians are just sensible enough to see that the public majority does not want anymore sacrifices of soveriegnty for Euro-expansionism.
The EU went from a wonderful theory and extrapolation of the European Common Market and European Economic Community concepts to a massive, Socialist bureaucracy which is a financial vampire on the wealthier Western European nations.
The EU was first a great club for members of the G8- now any Euro-ghetto can join and siphon money from other nations' hard work- not to mention the ridiculous wastage of food via agreed production quotas and farming subsidies for inefficient farming practices.
The EU is a complete load of leftist-cow-poop and the British, among others, have the brains to keep their currency as it has more benefits than the Euro could ever propagandise and claim to have.
In summary- the EU sucks and the jolly old Pound Sterling shall forever rule the Waves!
Down with the EU!

you have misunderstood the placement. uk is in the ecu now, because 1973, yet would not use the euro distant places money. what's being pronounced is a referendum on staying in the ecu or leaving. If Cameron's party stay in capability there will be one, if the Labour party get elected there won't ever be, nonetheless labour could replace their minds if it seems to be a vote loser.. Even ahead of the disaster, the united kingdom public, government and opposition have been all against starting to be to be a member of the euro distant places money. All people who have been in favour at the instant are quietly very relieved they weren't listened to!

The simple answer is that unlike other countries in the European Union, the United Kingdom is not in the habit of having referendums every two minutes. In fact when we had a referendum in the 1970's regarding entry into the then Common Market, it was attacked as being unconstitutional!
We have had a few since, but they are exceptional, not the norm.
I don't see any potential public revolts or mass anger because we are not part of the Euro farce. As far as I am concerned the Pound Sterling will do nicely.

Suspicious? On the backs of Euro notes, you'll find a letter and lots of digits (serial number). The letter indicates which country issued the note. For example, 'Z' is Belgium and 'U' is France.
If there are no plans for us to join the Euro, then why has the UK already been allocated a letter? The letter is - in case you were wondering - 'J'.
Suspicious - or what?

My fingers tremble as I type, because I know all the bigots will be at me with their bad spelling, appalling grammar, capital letters and rows of exclamation marks, but I would like Britain to join the Euro.
Look at the map, we are not a small island off the US coast, we are European. I want to join Euroland and tell the US to keep their stupid wars, fast food and ecologically disastrous economy.
However, I do agree that the reason there's been no referendum is probably because the government would not want to deal with the results. And don't assume that because we pro-Euros are less vocal, and do not over punctuate, that we are in the minority.

Because the UK Government knows that if it asks the question of the people it will not get the answer it wants to hear and therefore upset Brussels. Also the cost of everything goes up overnight for no apparent reason other than to keep european traders happy. Also no Government would dare to try to implement the Euro as it would be political suicide for the government of the day .

The UK is not a democracy, the government make these decisions. The UK only participate in the parts of the EU that suit the government.
