Eurorealism or Euro-realism is an attempt to maintain a realistic but reformist perception of the European Union and European integration as a whole. The term originates in the broader anti-federalist movement but is currently in use as a completely separate and independent ideology within the European debate. It is coined by think tanks such as Open Europe and Silent Majority, as well as by the European Conservatives and Reformists group in the European Parliament and many of its constituent parties such as the Czech Civic Democrats and the Flemish Dedecker List. Senior politicians such as Václav Klaus, Declan Ganley, Jens-Peter Bonde or even Margaret Thatcher are considered proponents of this doctrine, and both Derk Jan Eppink and Jan Zahradil, two MEPs with the ECR group, have written extensively on the subject. Poland has the highest amount of political parties affiliated with this ideology, with its government opposition party, Law and Justice, considered to be the biggest of Eurorealist parties. They have a mildly eurosceptic view.
