The prime minster will apparently call for a debate on whether the UK should continue it's policy of sending troops to world trouble spots after he steps down (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6254253.stm).
Do you think we should remain an influential power (with the increase in budget requirements that that will entail)? Or do you think it's time we stepped back and concentrated on working with other countries more to resolve world problems?
If you think we should remain a major defense power, what do you think we should cut back on to fund it? Or is increasing taxes an acceptable solution?
