I think they want it actually. They are very subservient to their government -- perhaps not the prime minister of the day if thy sit on the wrong side, but the bureaucrats and the whole government machine -- they see it as a benevolent protector and provider.

They want to be protected from people such as this, because they don't feel they can protect themselves from him. Not sure where Prince Harry dressing up as a Nazi falls on the spectrum, but I assume the ruling class is above the laws of the commoners either way.

I think all western countries including USA are going down the same road though. It's not a choice I would personally make, but I suppose I can understand why people think this way.
