dc.description.abstract	Eurosceptic parties love Europe. This seemingly contradicting statement is explored in this thesis, which shows how Eurosceptics argue that their love for Europe forces them to seek to either chance or leave the EU. This thesis analyses the arguments of the German AfD and French Rassemblement National, to show how they combine pro-Europe and anti-EU rhetoric.
