The Decline and Fall of New Labour in Britain

Host: The Heritage Foundation. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Labour government has suffered a spectacular decline in political fortunes over the past few months, with a succession of polls showing the opposition Conservative Party with a commanding double-digit lead. The prospect of Conservative leader David Cameron entering Downing Street has grown dramatically. If elected, Cameron will lead at a critically important time for Britain as a world power. He has an opportunity to restore British sovereignty in Europe, rebuild the United Kingdom’s military capability, and re-energize the Anglo-American alliance. Join The Heritage Foundation as Shadow Defense Secretary Liam Fox, former Army Spokesman Crispian Cuss, and political commentator Douglas Murray discuss the likely foreign, defense and security policies of a future Conservative administration.
