I don't know if I would say "snuck up". Europe has always been conservative, backward looking and socialist since the 1850s and onwards.
I would say that the administrative state is the natural condition of europe, with various short times of prosperity and freedom.
But like the UK, those short times of prosperity and freedom usually collapse into socialism again.
