While 54% of
Greeks say EU membership benefits the country, this percentage is
significantly lower than in the past, while one-third (34%) said the
common currency has benefited the country:
As the
Greek debt crisis came to a head again earlier this summer, it's
no surprise that leaders in more solvent eurozone countries
expressed doubts about Greece's participation in the monetary
union -- but these doubts are also widespread among Greeks
themselves. A majority of adults in the country -- 55% -- said in
a poll conducted May 14-June 16 that they think converting from
the Greek drachma to the euro in 2001 has harmed Greece, while
one-third (34%) said the common currency has benefited the
country.
Greeks
are less likely to harbor doubts about their country's membership
in the European Union. In fact, responses to this question are
essentially the inverse of those regarding eurozone participation:
54% of Greeks say EU membership benefits the country, while 35%
believe the opposite.

Meanwhile,
51% of British people would vote UK to leave the EU:
A
majority of British people would vote to leave the European Union
in the wake of the migrant crisis engulfing the continent, a shock
new Mail on Sunday poll has found.
If a
referendum were to be held tomorrow on whether to remain a member
of the EU, 51 per cent of British people would vote ‘No’.
It
follows a string of polls over recent years which have given
comfortable leads to the pro-European camp. Significantly, it is
the first measure of public opinion since the Government changed
the wording of the referendum question, lending weight to claims
that the new phrasing boosts the chances of victory for the ‘Out’
campaign.

... the
true face of the eurozone has been revealed, its image has been
seriously downgraded to a degree that has started to become
repulsive, even for European countries that examine the
possibility to join this club.
