Yea public support here is still very weak for the Euro, so this isn't happening any time soon.
Business is all for it (iirc, it was for it during the referendum too), and there are definitely efficiency gains.
But a common currency with no common finance policy is just as bad now as it was before the euro crisis.

€Euro is a worthless currency with zero natural resources to backed them. No oil, gas or gold. It is even worst than $USD. At the very least, the US are rich in natural resources such as oil, gas and gold.

Why would you want to do that? They’ll always get dominated by Germany. The biggest market will always win out. They’ll learn the same lesson the French learned.

There is only one currency that is enviable, it is the Swiss franc.

Absolutely incredible how eager they are to be to join the Euro currency now when it's so absolutely clear the Euro currency is a failed project – they will NEVER federalize the EU and you'd have to be braindead to give up your monetary sovereignty to the ECB

Would be the worst mistake together with NATO ever for Sweden to join E and NATO. It's the regular richest 1% idiocy, that actually is for all countries in extreme dept like the US, France, Germany to suck money from swedens people..The extreme right wing capitalist politics is destroying the world.

Nations inside the European Union dont have to ask, they simply have to fulfil the criteria and then decide by themselves. The nations that didnt chose the Euro used an opt-out mechanism that is available for everyone. They simple opt-in again.
