The consistency of the link between EU scepticism and immigration issues : A descriptive analysis of party positions / P.G. Van Wolleghem. - Milano : Fondazione Ismu, 2016 Oct.
Abstract:
The Brexit referendum marked a no-return point in the history of the European construction.
First member state ever to leave the Union, the UK was the theatre of a fierce campaign
opposing positions on immigration to economic interests. Now that the anti -immigration
camp seems to have won the game, this paper proposes to step back a little bit and consider
the consistency of the link between EU scepticism and position on immigration for political
parties across Europe and over the last ten years. I show that if the UK may well be a oneof-
a-kind instance, the link between the two issues does exist across EU member states over
time.
