Synopsis

'The Europe Debate inevitably involves Britain - Britain's future as a self-governing state, Britain's economy, Britain's place in the wider world, Britain's status as a European power, Britain's currency, and even Britain's survivability as a Union of different countries.' (Andrew Marr, Chief Political Correspondent, BBC). Should Britain join the Euro? Is Westminster giving away too much power to Brussels? What does the future hold for British jobs? Can an EU defence force ever replace NATO? Is the 'special relationship' with the US a thing of the past? Will the British ever be culturally European? These are just some of the fascinating questions tackled in this book, written by some of the most prominent politicians and commentators in the country. All the pieces are absolutely up to date and look at the big questions Britain faces in the years ahead.
