Social Democratic EU-critics are back

The organisation Social Democratic EU-critics, or SEUK for short, have keept a low profile recently. If I remember correctly they sort of deactivated in late 2002 in order to put all their strenght into winning the EMU-referendum. Instead, their members took part in a broader Social Democratic campaign called "Socialdemokrater mot EMU".

SEUK is not withdrawalist, but since they are viewed as the lineal descendant of the Social Democratic No-Campaign of 1994, they are somewhat controversial within their party. The re-organisation during the EMU-campaign was probably a good idea. But now they are back, and they seem to be quite busy working for a referendum on the Constitution.

SEUK have usually been an efficient low-budget operation, and their main focus have traditionally been in campaigning within their party, so don't expect their website to get an English version soon.

Anyway, SEUK has a new board since March 6:th. Some names are new and some are familiar. Prominent economist professor Sören Wibe, MP is back in his old role as Chairman.
