The EU the UK and the Euro

One question in EU - UK relations is the monetary currency. The UK has thus far retained the Pound Sterling as their currency and opinion polls indicate that the UK is more than 2 to 1 against the Euro, so that this is not a major issue in the UK at the present time.

An excellent page which discusses the Euro and the UK from all sides from a neutral non-partisan standpoint is kept at Richard Kimber's Political Science Resources page by Richard Kimber and Brian W. Jarvis at the UK-euro FAQ (.pdf version here). They even have double columns for the major Euro-related issues showing the arguments for or against any subissue.

The entire award-winning website goes far beyond the Euro and is one of the best sources of organized political links on the net. Take a look at it. It is definitely worth a bookmark and we are adding it to our list of website links.
