Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the discourse of British political parties on national identity in the context of European integration. The mainstream national parties, Labour and the Conservatives, are the main focus of the analysis. It demonstrates that European integration has consistently represented a major division between political parties at the discourse level, even if the reality of European policy by alternating governments has been more continuous than rhetorical differences would imply.
