Because the city doesn't want to surrender any of it's independence to anybody. And they control their poodles choke chain.
For the eurozone to work, it needs to be able to override individual countires budgetary decisions. Cameron don't agree.
Or see my previous answer.

Found one.
This morning, you'd be hard pressed to find *any* lines about what our Euro chums are doing that we're not. It was all 100% politics. It all sounded quite terrifying, but without telling us why.
AJGO the last of my probs!
Some people have far too much money 
Like Poland and Sweden signing up to a commitment to join the top table doesn't mean you have to join the Euro without a mandate.
Even so a British PM with any statesman like instincts would of least offered himself in a balance of power chairman role to bangheads together like Brown in the banking crisis.
Cameron and Hague are embarrasing amateurs who have made themselves a joke by touting their trivial agenda on workers rights at a time when Europe is on the brink.
The Tories have become a silly little neo-liberal nationalist party nearer to Gert Wilders than the likes of internationally respected grandees like Hurd and Hesaltine.
Is that deliberate?
It can't be real the people in the upper offices couldn't see the ground.
Or is the architect a North Korean deep cover agent?

And screwed over most of the country to aid his rich chums.Please cut out and keep this answer. It is reusable for any and all questions on Conservative policies.
As far as I can see UK stayed out of the Euro so that it could manage its own finances and not be dragged down by currency troubles in less well managed countries of Europe.
Voting FOR the recent treaty amendment would have effectively made Britain join the Eurozone in all but name-of-the-currency, so it was right to veto that amendment and leave the rest of the Euro countries to create a sub treaty which will apply to them but not to the UK.
I don't believe the doom & gloom that the media is claiming that this will cause to the UK.
This amendment/sub-treaty amounts to a major step in creating "The United States of Europe", which will be a bad or good thing depending on your views, but if the UK remains outside, it will probably result in a similar situation to Canada and the USA; i.e trade goes on as usual.
I think that Canada has more than once refused to join the USA as another State.

The article says:
"It was not our intention to create an image resembling the attacks," the designers insist, "nor did we see the resemblance during the design process."
Then it goes on to say:
They did not see the resemblance during the design process? The problem with this assertion - apart from its inherent implausibility - is that they have admitted the contrary in Dutch. Thus Jan Knikker of MVRDV told the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, "I have to admit that we also thought of the 9/11 attacks."
Moreover, given the context, the MVRDV architects could hardly have not thought of the 9/11 attacks. The residential towers, after all, are supposed to be built at the entrance to the so-called Yongsan Dream Hub: a complex of business towers that has been designed by none other than Daniel Libeskind, the designer of the original "master plan" for the reconstruction of Ground Zero.
Odd.
Someone enjoyed their lego when they were kids.

Of course, the use of the word "exploding" is completely erroneous here. As we all know, the towers didn't explode in any way - the steel-reinforced concrete buildings simply melted due to a fire before buckling and falling to the ground below in large chunks. If you watch video of the collapses and see anything resembling evidence of an explosion you are obviously highly deluded and should seek professional help.
The real culprit in 9/11?
The 2 towers had a suicide pact.
