Polls show a majority of close to 2 to 1 against joining, and the euro's mounting credibility problem will make Blair's challenge no easier.

The leaders of most EU countries didn't care if their subjects wanted to join the EU or not.

I can't believe that anyone really believed that this Euro would ever work. There are countries involved that can't even agree on which side of the table they should sit. There are countries that have not agreed with one another for hundreds of years,yet along comes the vaulted Euro and puff,everyone agrees.

If you believe this, there is a bridge for sale.
