They can not force a country to use the Euro currently 7 countries in the EU dont use it and 4 out of it use it

Yes I know,

but it's changed so if you're a new member you have to accept the Euro.

It's well spoken about if Scots leave the UK and join the EU they'd have to adopt the Euro.

I was getting at that if you wanted to leave the EU you'd surely want to leave the Euro too.

But most people in France wanted to keep the Euro, so I'd imagine they'd want to stay in the EU too.

You need a 2 year financial period 1st which is the reason Bulgaria dont use it and Scotland wont have a currency

Thankfully we don't all believe the EU to be so very, very good!

If Corbyn wants to sperg on about the EU, that's his prerogative, let him waste his breath is that's his idea of a high afternoon, he won't get anywhere.

Okay, you've mentioned Corbyn for no apparent reason in a topic relating to EU, can we get a muslim mention for a full house?

Seems I need to connect the dots for you - Corbyn has done a u-turn on Brexit which amounts to overturning the referendum result. See the connection.

The EU is a mess, but the referendum has happened and the wheels are turning. A thread like this is no more constructive than one about its good points tbh.

The EU is a mess but those who want to cling on seem to be blind to the issues and uninterested in the impact the EU has had and is having on our oceans and fishing, not to mention the lack of democracy, so it's kind of pointless trying to educate, they can't take the strain of having to use a passport for the duty frees.

Exactly. The likes of Juncker etc have shown themselves to be no more trustworthy than most of our MPs. They are trying to put on a brave face to suggest that all is well and enforcing their powers, whilst Europe crumbles around them.

I suspect a huge financial corruption scandal will happen at some point. I hope we are long gone when it does so we don't get dragged down with it.

I agree. I just don't get why people refuse to see the issues with the EU. No-one can be that blind - can they!

So you admit that our MPs are corrupt? Well that's a start.
If we keep our banking structure, rely on capitalism and austerity we are quite literally dead in the water.
In or out of the EU.

The EU has done a lot of good and we can't deny that. Its also done a lot of bad which we can now rid ourselves of. We need though, to look at the good policies and continue those policies within British law, whilst getting rid of the policies that suffocated us.

I'm delighted that we can now reform our fisheries and farming laws because EU common agricultural policies has robbed both farmers and fishermen of their trade. We need (and this is close to my heart) to stop the transportation of live animals for meat (and I didn't know this until I watched a parliamentary debate) we need to stop funding bullfighting in Spain, but we do need to continue the protection of our natural habitats. EU law has ensured we cleaned up our act with rivers and beaches from sewage. Before we joined the EU Blackpool beach wasn’t even listed as a beach or shown as a beach on maps because it was so filthy. The reason its an award winning beach today is because the EU made us take responsibility. Some regulations need to continue, not under the EU directive but under our own laws and regulations.

We need to take the good and discard the bad.

Great post, how nice to agree for a change, it's been a while.

Merged these threads. I did warn about the multiple threads on same subject. Obviously if there is actual new news then a new thread is needed. A new thread is not needed for new opinion pieces or old news.
