HALF OF GERMANS WANT TO AXE THE EURO
49 per cent of Germans still wish they had the mighty Deutchmark

HALF of all Germans want to ditch the euro and bring back their deutschmark, according to a poll.
Despite a year of propaganda from their government informing them that the beleaguered European currency is good for them, 49 per cent of Germans still wish they had the mighty mark in their pockets.
This is one of the highest proportions of Germans wanting its return since polls in the 1990s showed close to 70 per cent of them wanted to retain the mark, the currency of their “economic miracle”.
DAILY EXPRESS CRUSADE: GET US OUT OF EUROPE
The recent crises in Greece and Ireland have contributed to further disillusion.
In the survey for the daily Bild newspaper, only 41 per cent of people were satisfied with the euro. Most of the rest said they did not know what to think.
The survey found that the majority of Germans are worried about the stability of the currency and the possibility of inflation.
Three-quarters of the people questioned by YouGov said they personally had not profited from the adoption of the euro.
And if Germany was not part of the eurozone, only 30 per cent of those asked would today vote to adopt the euro and 60 per cent would vote against it.
Yet despite the concerns, the majority believe the euro is here to stay.
Asked whether the euro would still be country’s currency in 20 years, 55 per cent of the respondents replied yes. Germany adopted the euro in 1999 along with 10 other countries.
