Innocent Accused
In theory you're right JK,but as is the case in life others often have different ideas,and look where the eurozone ended up.
Orwell is gone,and if you look at the real trends in world politics we now have more countries,not less..and more currencies,not less than 20+ years ago.Also those countries on the way up are doing so alone,those on the way down are tied to inefficient organizations like the EU.Just look at where the growing economies are coming from,and look at where those they overtake belong.
Life is never simple,politics even more so.

And that's exactly why the Euro hasn't worked.
And yet it won't stop the EU trying to 'harmonize' half a billion varied peoples into a homogenous mass with endless stupid directives forced upon us by faceless unelected beurocrats, themselves held at gunpoint by lucrative lobby group industries, and that interfere needlessly in people's lives.

But that's the problem. Most Europeans don't want to have central rule. Certainly the UK never signed up to that. Originally it was just an Economic Community. Then a European Union.
A single currency will only work when we have just one European Government, and individual countries' governments are just responsible for local issues.
