They are now official Labour Party policy, and are also widely supported within the Conservative and Liberal parties. ....... Mr Mayhew's argument is based on undeniable facts. Britain's status and power overseas have declined; her "peace-keeping" role has changed its nature; our dependence on the USA constantly increases.
