This paper focuses on the 2014 European Parliamentary elections and how rising euroscepticism might impact their results. Indeed, if the eurosceptic parties garner a sufficient number of votes, they will be able to impose their agenda without having a majority in the EP, since their real power will lie in the ways they influence mainstream parties at the national level. To thwart this last possibility, this polemical paper concludes by making suggestions on how the eurosceptics can be defeated.
