Opinions
Gardiner is a supporter of the Transatlantic alliance and the idea that the U.S. and U.K. should "project power and influence across the world.”
Gardiner supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and has defended the George W. Bush administration's record in warfare, and in combatting terrorism. Gardiner is opposed to increasing European integration and the rise of a federal Europe, which he sees as a threat to British sovereignty and the future of the Anglo-American alliance. In his articles on domestic U.S. politics, Gardiner has praised and appealed to the Tea Party movement in American political debate, calling it the most influential political movement of the decade.
Gardiner was a prominent and long-time supporter of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union or Brexit from his position at the Heritage Foundation, and hosted key talks in support before the British vote on June 23, 2016. As someone who worked for Margaret Thatcher he maintained, "The Iron Lady believed firmly that Britain would be better off outside the European Union."
