This R&D provides resources on Great Britain’s relationship with the European Union (EU).  Although it is a member of the EU, Great Britain does not use the euro and British conservatives are clamoring for a referendum on the country’s membership in the organization.  Anti-EU sentiment in Britain has grown in the aftermath of the euro zone crisis, EU financial regulations, and concerns about how immigration is changing the demographic makeup of the British Isles.
