Your reply also shows that even pro EU brits are still too proud to share a future in a more federalized EU. If you are not willing to give up your currency, you are not willing to go for it completely. That’s not what the EU needs.

How? He clearly explained that there are genuine reasons to keep the currency and how it is a big ask to give it up.

I don’t think that’s a pride thing, it’s a valid concern to have.

I feel that calling this a pride thing only serves to further alienate anyone that could be pro-EU, instead of attempting to address concerns they would have about rejoining.

They are genuine reasons if you see the future of your financial system separate from the financial system of the EU. A future member should show that it’s willing to put all efforts to improve the financial situation of the common system and not just for itself. They just want to profit from the market, but if the financial system has problems, they would just act to their benefit - even if it would be harmful to the european financial system.

The EU is an economic union – a unified economic policy is kinda the point. The individual members needs are to be adressed in EU-internal politics, not the foreign policy
