The Eurosceptical Reader 2
Europe is the biggest political issue in contemporary Britain. This title, like its predecessor published in 1996, contributes to the debate. The writings in this volume all express disapproval and doubt about the integration process. Some favour EU membership while rejecting the single currency; others favour renegotiation of Britain's relationship
with the EU others recommend withdrawal. But different preferred solutions do not obscure a commonality of belief that the status quo of EU membership, leading inexorably to a monetary and fiscal Euroland, is undesirable and should be democratically resisted. Similarly, Tony Blair's advocacy of a superpower Europe is conceptually repudiated.
