The barbarians are at the EU’s gates! Scarcely a day goes by in Brussels without a conference speech or high-profile article warning of the legions of eurosceptic populists who will be invading the European Parliament after this summer’s elections. The message is always the same; the malevolent newcomers will be bent on destroying the last 60 years of progressive European integration, and will be numerous enough to block parliamentary business and so create political chaos across the EU. | ||
