What other than Britain's membership in NATO was in jeopardy beginning in the 1970s? This is a more interesting question than it first appears, for if Britain did withdraw from NATO, what use would it have for those institutions in Britain that were Anti-Soviet? And what was the most prominent Anti-Soviet institution in Britain? The British Monarchy. So we can see for the Conservatives in Britian, more was at stake than just an alliance, but the very institution at the core of Conservatives for centuries. The willingness of the British people to abolish the monarchy, of course, manifested deeper and more domestic concerns. Clearly, the monarchy was in deep trouble prior to the question of Britain withdrawing from NATO. In response to this domestic challenge to its power, the monarchy and British Conservatives looked to Conservatives in the United States to help perpetuate their power in Britain, even at the expense of the American people. So, in a sense, British Conservatives are attempting to subordinate the interests of the American people to those of the British monarchy -- and they're finding support in the United States government.
