| - Euroscepticism is a international, pan-European political ideal born from, economic selfishness, nationalist sentiments, the fear of immigrants (if not all non-Whites in general), dislike of international co-operation and post 2008 economic decline related conspiracy theories. Euroscepticism, i.e. the opposition to policies of supranational EU institutions and/or opposition to Britain's (in England and parts of Wales) membership of the European Union, has been a significant element in the politics of the United Kingdom (UK). Euroscepticism is a rater general and pan-party opposition to the European Union (EU), the Euro (€) and the process of European integration. A Eurobarometer survey of EU citizens in 2009 showed that support for membership of the EU was lowest in the United Kingdom, alongside Latvia and Hungary. The overall acceptance of the European Union in all member states saw a strong increase of support till the 1990s and a major decline afterwards, support sinking to 1980s levels then. Due to the timely connection with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, it has been called the 'post-Maastricht-Blues'. The European integration process faced a major defeat with the failed Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe and eurosceptical opinions gained more impact overall. The role of public opinion had been lower before but gained importance with state referendums, as in the rejection of the constitution by French and Dutch voters in 2005. There are no official labels, core beliefs or official Euroscepticism manifesto, central organization, no major pan-factional leaders and no official ideology, just hatred of the EU and Europeans in general. Some parties like UKIP and the AfD are also virulently xenophobic to all races, creeds and nationalities; with the USA being the highest of their enemies out side the EU. They also have a total inability to take ideologically opposing beliefs, regardless of it's factual validity or not. 1.
* They claim to be anti-European Union, but in reality anti-foringer in general. The Fascists and Nazis actually have the honesty to say so and don't hide behind a referendum on EU membership. 2.
* They are generally old or middle-aged people (overwhelmingly white, English baby-boomers) who have a strong dislike of poor people, social change, children, other races, other creeds and teenagers. 3.
* They are racist to all those that are different to them since they simply hate difference, unlike the Fascists and Nazis who define it on racist, sectarian and\or cultural lines; for instance, anti-Sematisum and the 'Jewish bakers' plot' conspiracy theories. 4.
* They are annexationist and reject colonial independence and imperial decline (ie: the BNP are glad we got rid of 'nigger' states like Kenya, but UK Eurosceptics don't neither recognise or agree with America's or Ireland's right to independence). 5.
* Eurosceptics are mostly driven by raw xenophobic hatred, not a overly hate-filled ideological bias towards a certain group such as the Jews, gays, and so on .
