But it seems that Britain's ruling elites are united in forcing the Euro down the public's throat.

Your right, they are, but the fact remains that about 76% of the people in the UK oppose Europe and the Euro, and if the govt. is to be believed, the UK will not enter the Euro unless the vast majority vote in favour of, and that does not look likely in the by 2003, when the govt. will hold the referendum. The British public were forced into Europe when it was known only as the European common market, they were given a yes/no vote the question being "would you like closer ties with a European common market?", next minute we were being railroaded into a European superstate, to the detriment of the commonwealth nations i.e Australia, New zealand.
