I'll be voting no to Lisbon and yes to FG at next GE (even with their scary energy plans).

Being part of the euro creates problems though. Divergent economic policies work against the success of the single currency. Either, like the US, there is a large central budget or failing that, the remote possibilty that all countries converge by fluke. Neither appeals to me.

Voting no is in the hope of two things - 1. reverting back just to the EFTA, painful though would be the abandonment of the euro or 2. sending out the message that the EU should be like Hayek's vision of a small govt. federation.

I admire the views of the UK's Dan Hannan, Tim Worstall, Patrick Minford and Gwyn Prins.

Is it ok to mention these foreigners or will I get ran off this site?
