Abstract
An eurosceptic is a person who takes a dim view to European Union, who only considers its drawbacks, someone who criticizes the process of European Integration and who has doubts about the viability or the usefulness of Europe. This term is mainly used to qualify politics, especially the British.
Since her late membership to European Union, Great Britain keeps being regarded as the dunce's cap pupil among the continental classroom. Britain always had controversial and complex relationship with Europe. However, is Britain still this capricious grouch so disparaged by her partners? The British pragmatism and virulence about the European questions intrigue the mainland European, who gladly calls it "British skepticism". The fact that she still refuses to take up the single currency, her wait-and-see attitude in front of the European decisions consolidate her euroseptic image. Fact or fancy?
