Are there any "mainstream" politicians in your countries who advocate a weakening of the EU and increasing national sovereignty, or is that considered an inherently radical or fascist position?

For Germany, I was wondering when nationalism would stop being verboten and if younger generations had a very different view of this than people whose experience was shaped by the World War or the Cold War.
Lastly, with Britain, I've wondered for a long time why the Tories don't just come out and try to push away from the EU and chart an independent course, more aligned with the Commonwealth countries and the US. It seems like a somewhat natural affinity and has strong historical precedent.
