In walking away from greater European integration in order to defend the privileges of the City, David Cameron has hopelessly relegated the UK to the status of an irrelevant island state at the margins of Europe, argues John Lichfield. 
If Britain is marginalised after last week’s fractious European Council, it’s only because the continent is furious that the UK never signed up to its troubled euro project, argues the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. 
As the eurozone crisis deepens, the countries outside of it are trying to come up with ways not to lose control of their destinies inside the EU. 
On October 24, the House of Commons overwhelmingly rejected a motion to hold a referendum on Britain’s relationship with the EU. The vote has split the ruling Conservative party. An equally divided British press concedes that an EU reset is inevitable. 
Thanks to his coalition with the Liberal Democrats, the new British PM is no longer a hostage to eurosceptic elements within his own party. This is an opportunity for him to take advantage of current divisions within the EU and make the UK a driving force in Europe. 
After a thirteen year hiatus, the British Conservatives have returned to power at the head of a coalition with Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrat party. Following almost a week of uncertainty after the British electorate had returned a hung parliament to Westminster, the UK press is partly relieved. Meanwhile, continental newspapers wonder about the traditionally eurosceptic Tories' future relationship with the EU. 
Although the continent is still not short of beer-drinking, Daily Mail/Express-reading, Europhobic Britons forever perplexed by foreign ways, a new generation, more in tune with other European social attitudes, is coming to the fore, argues Mary Dejevsky. 
Furious with a £14 billion contribution to the bureaucrats of far-off Brussels, lagging behind Norway in GDP, some Englanders have had enough with the European project. Dreaming of the day when Britain becomes an offshore paradise for global investors, Tory MEP Daniel Hannan gives 10 reasons to leave the EU. 
Twenty years after the fall of Berlin Wall, the hope the event inspired is being thwarted by a European Union that seeks “to standardise behaviour and attitudes”, argues Henry Porter in the Observer. 
With recent polls suggesting that the Irish electorate’s faith in the European project is dwindling, the Irish Times restates its case for a Yes vote in the 2 October referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, arguing that Ireland must contribute its genius, “to this great, imperfect project.”
