Blair's Euroskepticism is understandable insofar as it chimes with the British mood. Opinion polls consistently show that British voters are unenthusiastic about the EU, and the picture is confirmed by the latest Eurobarometer poll, conducted throughout the Union for the Commission - but before the recent enlargement from 15 to 25 member states.
布莱尔的欧洲怀疑主义与英国的总体情绪相互一致，因此很容易被人理解。民意调查一直显示：英国选民对欧盟缺乏热情，这一点也被欧洲民意调查局随后的调查所证实，最近由15国扩展到25国之前，这次调查在原有15国的范围内广泛进行。
