Shouls Britain join the Euro currency.

[WelshLad]

12/15 European Union countries adopted the Euro when it was introduced. I know its 25 countries now but they've only recently joined the EU. Anyway should the UK adopt the Euro? France and Germany etc. all gave up their currencies.

i dunno how much ur money is worth in comparison to the euro, but a standard currency is much easier

The British pound sterling is something like 60p (100p is a pound) to the euro.

To put things into perspective, if you have 2 US dollars, i give you £1 in exchange.

no i meant like i didnt know how much welsh money is worth. is the british pound sterling welsh money?

btw 1 euro is $1.29 (if that L thing doesnt stand for euro, nvm)

[Shaolin]

The Euro and the pound are stronger than the dollar, however the pound is stronger than both. So i think we should stick with the pound, unless the Euro economy get's more efficient and products are worth their price.

[Ravenous]

The pound is worth much more than the dollar and the euro. We should keep it because if we did swap to the euro we would lose a lot of money in the change over and we would lose the high value of the pound.

Not entirly, trade between EU countries would be far more efficient as we wouldn't have to pay high exchange rates for products from countries with very strong currencies.

Also it would be really useful to go abroad, as there would be no need to exchange money in europe.

However your right, the Euro is too weak for us to change too right now.

ukip is doing great and im for the free trade union just not the immigrants and us being told what to do.

[Harry Smith]

ukip is doing great and im for the free trade union just not the immigrants and us being told what to do.

How many MP's do Ukip have?

They believe climate change is a hoax, they are anti-gay adoption and they want to cut education by 55% percent along with massive tax cuts.

Free trade union ahah, if we're on our own we will lose all influence over Europe, what so we become part of America. It makes sense to be in with Europe. Immigrants do so much to help this country, so what if they are born somewhere else, it's anti-business to have a british only workforce. Farmers rely on immigrants to do seasonal work that Brit's don't want to do, my uncle employs about 20 romanian students who work for less than minimum wage for 12 hours doing lab work, he pays taxes, they contribute to the economy.

Brussels doesn't tell us what to, the laws were sign tell. Europe have to follow those rules as well. How you can support a fascist argument amazes me

[Cygnus]

The Euro is weakening a lot, if Britain joins the other countries would depend on them and Germany.

exactly people who are pro euro or Europe are really narrow sighted

[Harry Smith]

exactly people who are pro euro or Europe are really narrow sighted

Loooooooooool, that's bollocks. Your being narrowed sighted, where I live there are over 3 million jobs provided by EU based firms, if we left so would these Jobs. Where would you get 3 million jobs from?

I'm not in favor of a single currency but I'm in favour of staying together and supporting other nations as they support us.

It amazes me how you can be pro NATO, an example of Internationilsm yet you want us to leave the EU. We're in recession, we don't have any money. 50% of trade will be gone if we leave, free trade treaties would not fix this

them jobs wont go just like American based firms are here and do you know how much we pay In a month 50 million? no thats per day we spend 1 billion pounds a month, as you said were in a recession

[Harry Smith]

Do you have any evidence for that? What do we pay it towards?

[Abyssal Echo]

As my Grandpa used to say " If it aint broke DON'T fix it "
so NO I wouldn't change over to the Euro

[britishboy]

Do you have any evidence for that? What do we pay it towards?

we pay for new train systems in Turkey... yay and yes why would eu businesses pull out because of a political union? America hasn't. of course that is the only proff I can provide, you should read this it sums up tje debate, 51% want to leave out right, 79% want to stop immigration

Once again you pick figures out of the air. I asked you for a source for this 50 million and you were unable to provide one. There isn't much point making baseless points is there? At least have some evidence of your claims because it makes you look stupid. Also despite the fact you lack evidence for the point about the polls I'll tell you that not all Polls are correct, in fact they are often wrong. Also the whole point of Parliment is that they do the foundation work, the people your asking don't have a economics degree so you can't base the opinions of the majority as solid fact

And any brit knows the daily mail is garbage, highly biased

I know absolutely NOTHING about like how much the EUro is worth in comparison to the Pound, but I think if they switched over, it would make things a lot more simple.
