    Giving up your national currency for one managed by the European Central Bank is the opposite of currency sovereignty.

      i agree, and never said it was, however currency sovereignty being a sacred cow isn’t a great way to form policy

      why is it good? what does it give you? (youve answered in another comment a couple; there are plenty!)

      but single market relies on single currency, and that gets you a whole lot too. you said you’d like to join the EU but not the single currency, but the UK proved that situation was sorta shit for the whole EU

      you can’t really be part of the single market the way it’s intended without being part of the single currency
