The pound is the fourth most traded currency in the world. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - We do not think that the UK should adopt the euro as it's currency. The pound is a very strong currency, and has been for years. If we were to change to the euro, we would lose the monetary and economic independence of the pound. We also believe that the euro would make the UK more vulnerable to recession and the overall economic climate of the Euro zone, which is not what we need right now. The benefits of having the euro as a currency are negligible. We do not see a lot of benefits to changing from the pound to the euro, especially now that the UK is no longer in the EU. Conclusion From the survey results, we can see that most people in the UK do not believe that the UK should adopt the euro as its currency. The biggest reason for this is the fact that most people do not see any benefit to changing the currency, and that there are many disadvantages to doing so. The UK already has a strong currency in the pound, which is not at risk of devaluation, unlike the euro. In addition, the pound is the 4th most traded currency in the world, which would be replaced by the euro, and we would therefore lose some economic clout. The survey # ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - The UK should not adopt the euro. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - The UK should not adopt the euro as it's currency. The pound is a strong currency which has retained it's value compared to other currencies of the world. The UK is an individual country and adopting the euro would send the country into a further financial recession. The pound is what we have used for a long time here in the UK and I don't feel that it really needs to change for any reason, so why should it? The UK is a world leader and holds a stronger position economically without the euro. The euro has not fulfilled it's promise of a cohesive europe. The euro is a weak currency and the european comission have been heavily criticised for their managment of finances. Countries in europe that have adopted the euro have not greatly improved from doing so as they were promised. 3: 2,4,1,3 1: 4,1,2,3 1: 4,2,3,1
