Because the Euro sucks. The government has been trying to get the swedish people more comfortable with the idea, but it's really stupid to join it. Instead of being in charge of our own economy, Sweden would be subject to how all the other countries are doing.
Like when a crops country gets bad crops one year, but the manufacturing market is doing great in a different country, they need to adjust for the one that's doing bad.
Most countries joined the EU during the financial crisis in the 80 (I believe it was) but sweden didn't, because we didn't experience the crisis.
Then in the 90s maybe, there was a tiny crash, and Sweden's government used it to join the EU.
Then when everyone joined the EMU (money) Sweden didn't join, and the population has been resistant to it, so far. I hope for their sake that they keep it up, and adopt bitcoin, but who knows what they'll do. Plus, they've grown from like 8 million to 10 million almost exclusively by immigration from the middle east, so who knows what opinions are being added simply because of that.
They already changed school graduations from happening at Churches because of the potential of a Muslim kid attending the school, even though in the small towns in the North, there were none!
So, they try to accommodate certain things through anticipation, rather than requests, which means they're giving up Swedish culture and norms before even being asked about it.
So, I'm not sure what they'll do, but I hope they keep avoiding joining the even faster crashing currency of the Euro.
