Euroscepticism
Euroscepticism has become a general term for opposition to the process of
European integration
. It originated in the
United Kingdom
, and at first referred to those within the
Labour Party
and
Conservative Party
who were
sceptical
of their parties’ official support for UK membership of the then
European Economic Community
. Since then, the meaning has expanded, to cover most opposition to the
European Union
, to its policies, to the introduction of the
euro
, and to any future
pan-European
entity in the form of a
superstate
, a
federation
, or a
confederation
. The term entered other European languages as a
loan word
or
calque
, for instance Europaskepsis in
German
.
