JUST because we trade quite a lot with Europe, that is no argument for the single currency.
Proportionately, Canada has far greater trade with the United States, its neighbour, than Britain has with its neighbour Europe.
No-one has ever suggested that Canadians should give up the Canadian dollar, have common laws with the US and be subjected to the US Supreme Court simply because the United States is their biggest trading partner.
Tony Blair has said that he cannot see any overriding constitutional objection to the single currency.
Isn't Britain's independence an overriding issue?
All history shows that a single currency tends to lead to a single government.
