In the meantime, the Tories risk losing their way on a crucial issue – reform of the relationship between the eurozone and non-euro EU members – if they try to use it as leverage to renegotiate the various European treaties. Britain knows that the euro’s survival requires much closer political integration, and also that London’s role as a financial center – as important for the UK as the nuclear industry is for France and the auto industry is for Germany – would be greatly damaged if the euro should fail.
与此同时，如果保守党想将此作为重议众多欧洲条约的第一步，那么他们将有可能失去解决一个关键问题——改革欧元区和非欧元区欧盟成员国关系——的机会。英国知道，欧元的生存需要更紧密的政治一体化，也知道作为金融中心的伦敦之于英国就像核工业之于法国、汽车工业之于德国，若是欧元崩溃，将受到严重损害。
