There is a debate about whether Britain is part of Europe.

An overwhelming 99 per cent of our readers felt cheat­­ed by the Prime Minister when he tamely surrendered ­sovereignty to Europe this week, our exclusive poll reveals.

Young people from tiny Luxembourg were most likely to embrace a sense of "European-ness," with an average of 78 per cent of respondents from 1996-2004 saying they identified themselves as totally or at least partially European, the study said.

Italians were next with 72 per cent, followed by the French, 68 per cent; the Spaniards, 64 per cent.

Those who identified themselves as least European were the Portuguese at 50 per cent; the Greeks, 46 per cent; and lastly the famously Euroskeptic Britons, with 40 per cent.
