  Europhile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A major argument of Europhiles is the relative small size and importance of the individual European countries with respect to the current and rising powers on the world scale.
Europhiles would also argue that citizens enjoy benefits such as the right to free movement across the EEA and social benefits such as employment rights, and consumers benefit from greater choice and guaranteed standards.
From its etymology, "Europhile", which could just define the sentiment of belonging to a community of people, is mostly used to infer connotations of unconditional or irrational 'love' of integration, that would indicate dogmatic support for integrationist policy irrespective of the potential negative consequences.

 Whistle Stopper Political Forums - Europhile Lies and omisions (part 1)
As usual with Europhiles the submissions and opinions are misleading and wrong in almost all cases.
What strikes me forcibly is the lack of ability or willingness by Europhiles to defend the criticisms of the proposed EU Constitution other than by denying the accusations made against it.
If Europhiles feel the criticisms are unfounded let, them show how that is the case and not simply advance weak arguments that are not based on what is in the document but on their own feeling of trust in the EU.

New Statesman: Eurosceptics and Europhiles are all still smiling after Gordon Brown's statement.
The Eurosceptic Austin Mitchell was smiling, as was the Europhile Giles Radice.
For now, the fact that everyone (except the Tory Europhiles) is still smiling suggests to me that the argument has not yet been fully joined.

 Brian Denny - Expose the EU - Spectrezine
Europhiles are often fond of referring to eastward expansion of the European Union last month as the "reunification" of Europe.
The same fate awaits other pro-EU political elites of the left and right who twist and turn to sell the EU while giving succour to the opportunists of the far-right.
It is up to progressive forces to expose the emperor's new clothes of the EU and defend national democracy across Europe against such corporate dictatorship.

 Weaver - Euro-Monetary Untruths
In Britain, of course, Europhiles know that they will win few supporters by championing EMU as the quickest road to a federal Europe.
Indeed, such momentum as there is rests with anti-EMU industrialists, who have recently been voicing their fear that the single currency would lead to higher taxes, more regulation and increased borrowing costs.
The sheer elasticity of the arguments deployed by Europhiles should lead us to question their motivation.

 The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : WILL IT OR WON'T IT?
The objection cannot be treated lightly, especially by a Government committed to integration, in the wake of opinion polls that have found the British public to be poorly informed on matters concerning the EU.
It is time Europhiles recognised the imperative of centre-staging the objective of achieving lasting peace and stability through unifying Europe.
They should also ensure that the referendum is held exclusively on the EU Constitution, and that the public is enabled to come to an informed judgment.

 National Review: Mrs. Thatcher v. Europhiles - Margaret Thatcher   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
At the Rome meeting that led to Geoffrey Howe's resignation, the dominant European partners-France and Germany, with the connivance of Italy -used grandiloquent projections of unity as a diversionary cover for their refusal to moderate much further the protectionist agricultural policy which has always been, for them, an essential feature of the Common Market.
No one in Britain disagreed, but the Europhiles were appalled by the vehemence of her language and her uncompromising hostility toward even the ultimate goal of federal unity.
She claims to be "a good European" and she solicited fanfares over the Tunnel: but the language of which the Europhiles complain was a more accurate reflection of her feelings.

Tories contested the June general election on a high-pitched save-the-pound campaign telling voters that a Labour victory would mean the beginning of the end of the pound.

But it is of course typical for the Europhiles to claim such nonsense.
The poll by Gallup a couple of days ago, which said that Icelanders were almost 50/50 on the question whether to join the EU or not, also claimed that 61% of Icelanders are in favour of starting negotiations with the EU about membership.

 FORCES Interantional - THE EU TOBACCO ADVERTISING BAN DECISION : A VICTORY FOR EUROPHILES AND EUROSKEPTICS
In upholding the subsidiarity principle -- in recognizing that the center has only those powers, granted to it under the treaties -- the Court has struck a blow for democracy.
It is a decision that both Europhiles, and Euroskeptics can applaud for it has both limited the power of the center vis-à-vis the member nations, and has, by demonstrating that the Court of Justice is committed to the Rule of Law, and will not permit the EU Parliament to run amok, has enhanced its prestige.
The ruling serves notice on those who would circumvent the requirements of the law so as to pander to their perceptions of popular opinion that the EU Court of Justice will not oblige them.

It has thrown the British into a flurry of self-examination, with many articles wondering why the British-born young Muslims who carried out those attacks had not assimilated into a British identity.
Several commentators pointed out the most obvious answer: There no longer is any British identity, the multiculturalists and Europhiles having mocked, shamed, and legislated it out of existence.
Peripheral to this discussion, though not completely irrelevant to it, I note the following article from National Geographic that appeared this month, but which, given the NG's production cycle, must have gone to press before the attacks.
