Summary

69% Informative

The primary supranationalist organisation in Britain was a group called Federal Union .

It sought to create a global federation where powers and responsibilities would be divided between a central authority and its constituent national parts.

Its backers were Viscount Astor , the wealthy Anglo-American newspaper proprietor, and Richard Law MP, son of the former Conservative prime minister Andrew Bonar Law .

By the late 1930s its advocates were becoming supporters of a worldwide federation of democracies.

Lord Lothian , British Ambassador to Washington , and Lionel Curtis , leading figure in the Royal Institute of International Affairs .

For both men a transnational federation operating under Anglo -American (and thus Anglo-Saxon ’) leadership was the logical extension of the British Empire .
