Blair without Iraq?

I know Ireland uses Euros, I meant like pegging the pound to the Euro.
Fair enough. I think Brown would be reluctant to do that as it would constrain his fiscal and monetary policy framework but it is possible. Though politically toxic in the UK after Black (white) Wednesday maybe Blair could get away with it, Until the banking crisis.

But as I understand it, Blair's case for membership was more based on political considerations rather than economic ones. Pegging the pound to the Euro would be the worst of both worlds, the UK would have to accept the economic drawbacks that Brown warned about, without many of the political benefits that Blair hoped to gain.
