“Euro-sceptics in the European Parliament are as diverse as the European landscape, whether we analyse their role conceptions, attitudes to the EU, or parliamentary practices. Instead of wishing them away, those committed to the European project should embrace them for their democratic footprint, as the living proof that opposition is possible in the European Union. The conclusions reached by Nathalie Brack in this fascinating book offering the first systematic analysis of Eurosceptic MEPs deserve a central place in our contemporary debates on the future of Europe.” (Professor Kalypso Nicolaïdis, University of Oxford, UK)
