K. J. Bishop examines how opposition to European integration has transformed in British politics. The author presents Anthony Forster's argument that eurosceptic sentiment contains elements that could develop into a belief system resembling religious faith. Bishop traces the historical development of eurosceptical thinking and its growing influence on contemporary British political discourse. The book analyzes how skepticism toward European institutions has shifted from pragmatic policy disagreements to something approaching ideological conviction. Bishop explores the mechanisms through which euroscepticism has gained momentum and the ways it has shaped political debate. The work offers students and researchers a framework for understanding this political phenomenon and its implications for Britain's relationship with Europe.
