True. I figure the UK is only one Labour government away from that.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Liberal Democrats do about this. They seem to be highly displeased with this turn of events.
Will they be highly displeased enough to leave the coalition government?
Fortunately the Cyclops (Brown) was for all his other faults, an Atlantacist and Eurosceptic who put enough obstacles in the way to stop Blair getting us into the Euro.
I doubt that there is anyone other than a few fanatical Euro-loyalists who could seriously suggest with a straight face that Britain should ever consider joining the single currency. Not even Labour are that stupid.
Although I do kind of wish they would campaign on a ticket of Europhilia. It would be total electoral suicide for Labour and that would truly be a cause for celebration.
As for the Lib Dems, I’m not quite sure I would want them to leave the coalition government just yet because that would trigger a general election and I’m not confident that the Tories would be able to win an outright majority. If I was, I’d be all for the Lib Dems quitting. IMHO its better for the Lib Dems to be part of a mediocre Tory government than see the return of Labour misrule...
