The Labour party's crushing defeat in the recent local elections for England and Wales marks the beginning of the end for New Labour and the premiership of Gordon Brown. The opposition Conservatives inflicted their heaviest defeat on Labour in 40 years, securing 44 percent of the vote against the ruling party's 24 percent. Translated into a parliamentary election, these figures would give the Conservatives a huge 138-seat majority. The prospect of Conservative leader David Cameron entering Downing Street in the next 12 to 24 months has grown dramatically. If elected prime minister, 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 UK's military power, and re-energize the Anglo-American alliance.
