Re: Europe/Euro
 

sorry i will improve my wording next time :rolleyes:

i dont think it would cope because we have a large economy, one of the largest and unpredictable ones at that for interest rates and expenditure of the resources the budget needs to be balanced in affect the uk itself will lose out on currency money wise.......

Re: Europe/Euro
 

O.k. a lot of words but very little said, perhaps you could expand on your theory? (could you use comma's though, it makes it easier to read)

I was asking you, not 'Wigan Borough Partnership'

Re: Europe/Euro
 

How convenient ..

Re: Europe/Euro
 

How convenient? What, that Kronas read something that he agreed with so, rather than trying to reproduce it all, he just posted a link to it?

Yep, convenient. But not indicative of anything else, I think...

Re: Europe/Euro
 

In your opinion perhaps, not everyone jumps to find a web document when asked to back up an opposing viewpoint though, some prefer to articulate their own knowledge.

Re: Europe/Euro
 

Sure. After all I've never posted links to back up what I've been saying...

Re: Europe/Euro
 

If you're backing up factual information rather than speculation on how Germany are going to shaft the UK if they adopt the Euro then fair play ...

Re: Europe/Euro
 

And how exactly is someone supposed to "back up factual information" for something that *hasn't happened yet*???

Re: Europe/Euro
 

They're not, which is why I asked for his opinion rather than just showing me a link to something someone else has compiled.

Re: Europe/Euro
 

ah, economic theorys ... they're incredibly complex you know, too complex to extrapolate whether joining or staying out of the â‚ ¬ would be 'good/bad' for the uk. you could run the same model a 100 times and get several distinct outcomes! theres only one way to find out for sure.

but the whole EU/â‚ ¬ thingy seems to me a natural progression of whats been happening for millenia. hunter/gatherer groups to tribes, tribes to kingdoms, kingdoms to nation states, empires, nation states to 'transnational progressivism'.

i myself support the integration of europe but it's happening too quickly. most of the time i think we should stay out of the â‚ ¬ for now.
