6
out of 10 of the French regret the loss of the French Franc to join the
Eurozone.
In a poll
published by French website Atlantico, it was found that 62% of French people
now regretted the loss of the French Franc. In 2002, just 39% regretted the
loss of the French Franc.
Much of the
dissatisfaction at the changeover to the Euro lies in the belief that it caused
prices to skyrocket, and the feelings of discontent only grew during the
economic downturn which has plagued Europe.
The new results
are further proof of Eurosceptic feelings spreading across the Eurozone.
Nikki Sinclaire,
who is the We Demand a Referendum MEP for the West Midlands said,
“The Euro is a
failed political project which has been pushed upon the people of Europe with disastrous
consequences.
The Euro simply
does not work, but time and time again the EU chooses to put its head in the
sand
It is telling
that a country like France is now seeing a rise in Eurosceptic feeling”.
In a poll
commissioned by the We Demand a Referendum Party, 56% of people said they
wanted a referendum on the UK’s EU membership, while over 60% of Conservative
voters now want David Cameron to call a referendum on this vital issue.
Nikki Sinclaire
added, “2013 will see the EU discuss bailouts for further Eurozone countries. How telling it is that the UK, a
country from outside the Eurozone, is ridiculed and threatened yet we are
expected to contribute to bailout payments because of this failing currency.
It is time for the
UK to take a stand and to ask its people once and for all whether they want to
be a part of the European Union at all. Let the people decide”.
