The Foreign Affairs Debate - 2010 Election

Debate on foreign affairs between David Miliband for Labour, William Hague for the Conservatives and Ed Davey for the Lib Dems. They are cross-examined by Andrew Neil, diplomatic Correspondent and BBC Newsnight's Mark Urban. The focus is about the role of Britain in international affairs.

William Hague believes that there is too much interference from the EU legally and politically and he wants to be part of the EU but he does not want the EU to rule Britain. Davy wants to create European super state with full authority, he also in favour to replace the Britain seat in the security council to EU seat, while David mililand wants to engage Europe on mutual benefit bases.

Another interesting point is the strategic role of British forces, the lib dems wants to get rid of Britain’s nuclear trident missiles and Vanguard submarines, they also wants cancel production of 2 aircraft carrier plus euro fighters although that is costing a job losses, it is going to save around £100 billion pound to buy the debate, but isn't that making Britain weaker and more vulnerable specially when more rogue states like Iran and North Korea have nuclear ambition or we don’t know where the Pakistani nuclear is gone end up since it is blearing into civil war. What do you think?

Certainly the labour and the conservative both have agree that it is unwise to Britain to abandon it is nuclear, since the future is uncertain and we can't predict how the world may look like in 30 or 40 year time. But the problem with the labour and the conservative is that they want to spend whole lot of money, about £100BN which they don’t have. I think they are mortgaging the future of this country and they gone leave us debate like Greece where our country will need bail out from elsewhere (e.g. America, France or may be Chine). What do you think?

There a lot of issues where the parties have big difference in their political manifesto, if see anything interesting, lets us share to debate.
