An important of the rise of right-wing politics in the United States and Britain in recent years has been a concern with the politics of the family. However, while there are important moralist groupings within the American New Right, in Britain ‘pro-family’ organizations appear to be politically independent and Durham(1985) has suggested that the relationship between the British New Right and family issues fundamentally differs from the American. Somerville (1992) has recently rejected that, view, suggesting that while there are important differences between the two situations, British ‘pro-family’ organizations are as much part of the New Right as their American equivalents. That, it is argued, is to misread the British situation where, despite the emergence of the Conservative Family Campaign in 1986 and a recent increase in interest in family issues on the part of New Right think-tanks, the ‘pro-family’ movement continues to be organizationally independent of the New Right and distinct in its political priorities
