Don't you want to talk about this?
No. The Greek government has been financially irresponsible since before the start of the Euro system. They didn't meet the criteria for joining, so they fudged the figures.
The difficulties with the Euro are an indication of the conflict between different forms of government finance, and between those who want full political union and those who want a loose trading alliance.
At present, and for the foreseeable future, the UK will remain outside the Euro. IF we joined, it would be because we meet the defined criteria and because there is some advantage to the UK in being in the Euro. Now - we don't meet the criteria and there would be disadvantages to using the Euro.
