Both countries above recently forsook the incumbant liberal parties and elected someone more conservative and friendly to the U.S. Franch did so as well by electing Sarkozy.
The Irish people just shot down EU treaties and so did France a few years ago. Maybe this is only a blip in the general liberalization of Europe, but it could indicate that Europeans are not satisfied with the loss of national pride, borders and sovereignty. Possibly, after experimenting with so much socialism, they are finding it's better to have personal responsibility and do away with the nanny state.
