Should the UK join the Euro?

28 September 2009

Poll Started 29 September 2009: Should the UK join the Euro? The pound’s plummeted against the Euro, so it's not far from £1=€1 (see Travel Money Max for the latest rate). Is it time we joined the European currency? If so the rate would be fixed, and possibly at a higher exchange rate than the one we get now, or should we stick with the pound, which could bounce back? Remember it isn’t just about travel money, but has a massive impact on imports and exports.
