Anti-Europe

Cross Posted at Re:Europa.

Since the rejection of the Lisbon Treaty Ralf Grahn has turned his blog into an excellent source of interesting commentary. The suggest made in this blog post I found especially noteworthy.

Names and Labels matter and the conjure certain images. That is why it is important to be careful how to apply the label Eurosceptic. Somebody who opposes the institutional order of the current EU, but has his own ideas how this order should be is clearly a Eurosceptic. But for those who oppose any type of institutional order in Europe, the label Anti-EU, or what I like even more anti-Europe, should be used. This puts things better into perspective.
