Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the phenomenon of British Euroscepticism based on the two parties, representing the soft and hard Euroscepticism. By using the differences and similarities in the programs of the Conservative Party and the UK Independence Party, I try to describe the current situation in the UK 's political scene, focusing on prejudice towards the European Union. Then the functioning of these parties in the European Parliament would allow you to determine the influence they might have on Eurosceptic EU politics.
