Success breeds success, and so the more populist nationalism succeeds, the more it is seen. Thatchers handbag is today wielded by the Czech president and the assorted anti-federalists that made gains at the last European elections such as Hungarys Fidesz.
For a time in Poland, a flood swept all before it. Like Brits tend to feel about the euro, so many Poles feel about the Union: perhaps they ultimately benefit more from our being in it than vice-versa. Complex budget figures are easily manipulated to support this. Western Europes chronic short-term need for cheaper labour and long-term population decline give the idea intellectual weight. Polands greatest needs (at least psychologically) are defensive, and these are met by NATO and the US, which seem to take far greater heed of Poland that the EU. Polands Eastern front positions are continually undermined as its bigger partners trip over themselves to please Russia. And as to economic prosperity, someone soon will discover the argument that the EU is more surfer than wave and others can navigate globalisation at least as well; look at Norway, sitting comfortably outside.
In being distinctly unenthusiastic about EU membership meaning loss - actually sharing - of sovereignty, the Poles are not alone. They feel too long dominated by outsiders and are terribly anxious to run their own country. They dont want others rules imposed on them, even when it apparently comes through votes not guns. In fact, many saw a metaphorical gun firing the take it or leave it generation of laws they were forced to adopt to join the club. As it seemed their only route to economic prosperity, however, most think there was not really a choice. Now the laws are biting and open markets and globalisation are having real effects - all easily termed Europe. As ever, losers are bitter, fearful or organised and make the most noise. Winners are dispersed and take time to recognise or enjoy their new opportunities. And so populist nationalism is increasingly flavour of the month.
Like the UK, and like Spain soon after it joined, the pushy Poles (as they are universally known) use this. They have quickly learnt the rewards of throwing their weight around, forming alliances (in the negotiations for voting rights in the Constitutional Treaty) even before they actually joined. With over half the population of the new intake, they shout for the bloc when it brings them advantage. In the big budget battle of 2006, everyone lobbied the Poles, as both sides thought they could be won over. Meaning they play a poor hand well. Proof perhaps of a preferable prefix for the Poles: proud.
