L’opinion du public britannique sur les Etats-Unis dans le cadre de l’alliance britannique des special relationships<\/em> se d\u00e9t\u00e9riore notablement. Le Times<\/a> publie un sondage r\u00e9alis\u00e9 les 2 et 3 juin sur cette question.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLes principaux constats :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab …Fewer than three fifths (58 per cent) believe that it is important for Britain’s long-term security that we have a close and special relationship with the US. This compares with 71 per cent as recently as two months ago. Fewer than half of Lib Dem voters (46 per cent) now agree.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Slightly less than two thirds (65 per cent) believe that Britain’s future lies more with Europe than America. In March 2003, before the invasion, about 71 per cent believed that the conduct of the US towards Iraq makes it more important than ever that Britain is at the heart of Europe.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Equally striking is that Britons are evenly divided (44 to 45 per cent) about whether America is a force for good in the world. This reveals the extent of the cooling in attitudes towards the policies of the US Government. There is a clear gender divide: 48 per cent of men agree; 39 per cent of women do so. Positive views of America’s role in the world are highest among professionals and managers, at 49 per cent, and Tory voters, at 56 per cent; they are the lowest among Lib Dems, at 33 per cent.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Moreover, more than three fifths of British voters (62 per cent) believe that if Gordon Brown takes over as Prime Minister, he should be much less close to President Bush than Tony Blair has been. Significantly, this is the view of 65 per cent of Labour voters. (C’est la premi\u00e8re fois que cette question est pos\u00e9e.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb However, earlier analysis by Professor Sir Robert Worcester, of Ipsos\/MORI, highlights the distinction between attitudes towards the policies of the US Administration and the country and its people. Consequently, more than two thirds of British voters say that they like Americans and would like to go on holiday in the US.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tOn notera bien entendu combien cette \u00e9volution du public britannique correspond, pr\u00e9c\u00e8de, suit ou influence, c’est selon, \u00e0 une \u00e9volution qu’on per\u00e7oit de plus en plus \u00e9vidente dans l’establishment<\/em> britannique. La publication de ce sondage par le Times<\/em> est un signe de cette \u00e9volution, comme l’est, indirectement, l’accent mis par la presse britannique sur le massacre US de Haditha.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tOn notera une chose int\u00e9ressante : parmi les questions pos\u00e9es, certaines l’avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment (ce qui permet une comparaison de l’\u00e9volution du jugement), d’autres pas. La principale question \u00e0 \u00eatre pos\u00e9e pour la premi\u00e8re fois est celle qui concerne Gordon Brown et ce que doit \u00eatre sa politique vis-\u00e0-vis de Washington lorsqu’il succ\u00e9dera \u00e0 Blair (\u00ab If Gordon Brown takes over as Prime Minister, he should be much less close to President Bush than Tony Blair has been<\/em> \u00bb). Il est assez difficile pour un esprit curieux de voir un simple devoir d’information dans cette question ; l’esprit curieux n’ignore pas que, dans les colonnes du Times<\/em>, paraissent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des conseils<\/a> pour Gordon Brown, pour qu’il prenne ses distances des USA. (Pour rappel : le Times<\/em> est un journal conservateur, traditionaliste et g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement pro-US. Indeed<\/em>, l’Angleterre est sens dessus dessous.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 7 juin 2006 \u00e0 09H17<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L’opinion du public britannique sur les Etats-Unis dans le cadre de l’alliance britannique des special relationships se d\u00e9t\u00e9riore notablement.
