本章考察了英国疑欧派在2014年欧洲议会选举中的投票，分析了英国的政党政治、政党竞争以及政治企业家和公众偏好的作用。它表明，2014年欧洲议会选举活动确实具有欧洲层面，尽管不是欧洲议会的意图。这场运动的主要议题是英国继续留在欧盟的问题和相关问题，如欧盟的行动自由和英国的边界。对英国独立党（UKIP）投票的分析揭示了欧盟和国内的担忧。虽然选民选择了英国独立党，因为他们认为它接近他们的反欧盟态度，该党的支持者也投票表示不赞成政府，特别是与保守党和自由民主党选民相比。
This chapter examines British eurosceptic voting at the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election, analyzing British party politics, party competition and the role of political entrepreneurs and public preferences. It shows that the 2014 EP election campaign did have a European dimension, although not the one intended by the EP. The campaign was dominated by the question of the UK’s continued EU membership and related issues, such as EU freedom of movement and UK borders. The analysis of United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) voting reveals both EU and domestic concerns. While voters opted for UKIP as they perceived it to be close to their anti-EU attitudes, that party’s supporters also voted to express disapproval of the government, especially as compared to Conservative and Liberal Democrat voters.
