So where do you think UK politics is heading? Towards alignment with the US in opposition to Europe? I have heard in some other forums that Blair is actually making noises about trying to push approval of the Euro now. Is this true? If so, it's got to be the most ill-timed move in UK political history. With UK having a stronger economy than any of the continental nations, AND the current levels of tension of the Iraq affair every possible factor is against him.
