Britain's foriegn policy has always been to draw America closer to Europe and avoid a two power blocs scenario, akin to the
Cold War.
Margaret Thatcher advocated inviting the US to join the EU. Economically it would be a win/win situation and Euro legislation would force the US to raise their human rights and freedoms to a European level before they were allowed to join.
No sane libertarian minded American could oppose the transfer of power away from the president, to Brussels.
