Despite this, relatively little is known about the views that ECR politicians represent, especially their core party ideology of ?Euro-realism?. In this article, it is argued that the development of ECR since 2009 is ultimately rooted in a central desire by its member party politicians to reform the European Union by addressing its ?democratic deficit? without destroying the wider integration project altogether. More widely, ECR is the most visible vehicle for ?soft? Euro-scepticism in the EP, promoting ?governance before policy?.",
