    Maybe it’s a loophole, IDK, it doesn’t sound sustainable to have national debt just to avoid being a member of the Euro. Maybe Sweden will become a Euro member sometime in the future, but I’m fine with it being when they want to, and not being forced. But I still don’t think UK will be cut the same amount of slack.

    Personally I’d prefer to be part of the Euro, but this was a result of a vote on the Maastricht, and this is way way better than if we’d have to leave EU, which would be even more horrible for us than it was for UK.
    We had a lot of EU skeptics when that was decided, but the tide has turned, there are no parties left out of 12 represented in parliament that oppose EU membership. UK cured that problem overnight.
