    If you did the same graph but made it clear to pollees that rejoining would entail a switch to the Euro

    if you make some lie clear to pollees, you can derive infinite number of hypothetical scenarios from that point.

    there are lot of countries in the eu not using euro. i don’t really see union rejecting brits on behalf of such triviality.

      Hahahahhahahahaha

      Go read literally any statement from EU officials on the subject. The Euro must legally be adopted by any country which has a good enough economy (exemptions aside such as the UK or Danemark IIRC).

      Sweden benefits from a loophole where they legally have to switch to the Euro but haven’t started the process yet. However, there is not a chance in hell that the EU would give the same leniency to the UK, both for political (that’d make us look “weak”) and financial (the British economy is several times larger than Sweden’s) reasons.

      The UK getting to keep the pound in a rejoin scenario is a delusion. Or at the very least the political hurdles must be made clear because it is anything BUT given (and should I remind you how the last 8 years of negotiations with the EU went?)
