If Mr Blair won't make the case for Europe, who will?

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair seems to be quite positive about the growing hostility among ordinary people towards the single European currency, apparently because he feels that a full-scale campaign by leading politicians could still change public opinion rapidly if and when this becomes necessary after the next general election. The government's first task is to set out the arguments in favour of strong links between the UK and the European Union, and some progress must be made on this issue before an effective argument can be made in favour of the euro.

Blair's unsentimental commitment to Europe

Article Abstract:

The UK's relations with the European Union remain mixed, as reflected in developments during the six-month UK presidency of the European Union. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair aims to do more to emphasize the UK's preparedness for European monetary union, but will not move away from the position that UK entry depends on the Euro's success. Blair is markedly unsentimental about Europe, being often at odds with the European Commission. He shows no signs of abandoning his vision of the UK's European destiny.

All the excuses cannot disguise this anti-European majority

Article Abstract:

UK Conservative party leader William Hague may be misguided in having assumed that those who failed to vote in the European Parliament elections, who account for the majority of the electorate, are as opposed to Europe as those who voted. However, Prime Minister Tony Blair could face considerable challenges if Hague continues to seize the momentum on the basis of his party's strong performance in the European Parliament elections. Blair must now ensure that he indicates what the rewards are for success in his efforts to reform the European Union institutions and the European Union's economic policy.
