Brits are going to end up very happy they stayed out. Anti-euro campaign says fight is won Matthew Tempest, political correspondent Tuesday March 23, 2004 - The Guardian Tacit confirmation that joining the single currency is off the political radar until after the next election came today as the "No" campaign confirmed it was ceasing to campaign actively. The group insists that a "steering committee" will monitor the government's plans on the euro, but that last week's budget now means that a referendum would not be before spring 2008 at "the absolute earliest". In his budget statement last Wednesday, Gordon Brown announced a "rolling assessment" of the case for euro - but last June told MPs that only one of his "five tests" had been met. The decision to mothball the anti-euro campaign - founded in 2000 - mirrors the situation of their opponents in the pro-camp, where Danny Alexander, the head of communications for Britain in Europe, quit last month to become communications director for the Cairngorns National park. politics.guardian.co.uk
