about the same percentage of British people do not support war as the people in France and Germany. So the problem is Tony Blair and his strange relationship to both Europe and the US. Clearly he is not listening to the will of the people, and yet the historical ties to the US are also important forcing him into doing something he should not do. Time will tell how he will pay for this.

It really depends upon which paper you read as to what the opinion polls say. Mirror most people against. Sun most people for. Reality somewhere in the middle. IT also depends upon the questions asked, when the issue is connected to George Bush more people are anti-war (heavy bias against him personally), when the questions exclude Bush references then support goes back up again.

Support for war is not as high as in the US, but it is higher than in France or Germany.

As someone who is highly pro EU and pro UN I am pleased with the greater integration of France and Germany as well as the inclusion of more countries.

As an Australian I would love to hear the reasons on why you are pro-EU, if you have the time someday that is.
