How many are willing to accept using the Euro and full support of the Schengen zone?
I'd be fine with both. Schengen would actually be nice, and Euro adoption would make some things simpler.
Honestly, at this point I'd be massively on board with both. Schengen i would see as a bonus and the euro I could live with
Neither of those would happen and tbh I don't think the EU particularly care to impose either.
The UK is an island nation so schegen doesn't have the same benefits that are off value to continental Europe. The exception might be if Ireland wanted to join schegen then Northern Ireland might also join schegen to simplify the border. Obvs that comes with it's own complexities.
The Euro is an interesting topic. I wonder if there's a middleground where GBP is retained as the primary currency but large companies must also accept Euro for goods. Most of us purchase goods on debit card so if we're rarely using cash it makes little difference to us if the transaction is in GBP or Euro, provided the prices are shown in GBP so the right wing don't have a hissy fit.
Similarly contracts and trade with European contracts would be done in Euro but small companies doing business within the UK can continue to use GBP.
This appeases both sides. The average Brit still sees GBP but EU citizens are free to use Euro
You get down voted, but your Euro argument honestly sounds like the same situation was metric/imperial weights and measures.
Would it be pegged to the euro? If so, it’s lost it’s purpose as a seperate currency with central control.
In terms of schengen, irleand has never really debated it, but if it wasn’t for Northern Ireland, they would have already joined. There was talk of joining before brexit when the Northern Ireland terms were still not ironed out.
