Interesting, I was only 1 year old in 1994 so can't say on first hand experience, but from everything I've seen in the media and online, I thought the whole premise in the first place was that it was an economic union, and it was promised it would never be a political one. For instance they would never have a say in our laws, which they obviously do now.
