It is said that there was a time when the sun did not set in the British Empire. Its scope was so huge. But after the First World War, the dominance of this mighty state began to decline. And in the Second World War, a state called 'America' appeared on the stage as a mighty country. Britain loses prestige. But even then , during the Cold War in the sixties , seventies and eighties, Britain somehow maintained its position in international politics by carrying the flag of capitalism with the United States. The name of the then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was also used in international politics in the eighties along with former US President Ronald Reagan. This tradition was maintained at every step of NATO from the 1991 Gulf War to the 1990s. But that day of Britain is no more in international politics. His sun is now Nibunibu. The rise of Tony Blair, the charismatic leader of the Labor Party, in 1996 when the Conservative influence was broken, gave the British some confidence. In those days the Soviet Union collapsed. There is no parallel superpower in the United States. But even after that, Tony Blair was seen under the American flag as an act of his master's will. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States has become an ally in the war. Thus the rest of Britain's image in the international arena came to an end during the Charismatic Blair era. 2008 began with the global economic downturn. At the time, Britain was also seen on the list of countries most affected by the recession, showing the exercise of muscle power in world politics from the US sphere of influence. The country's average per capita income has declined. Economic indicators are at a level that is the lowest in 50 years. Meanwhile, the economic downturn has forced Britain to cut its military budget. No matter how much the Labor Party and the Conservatives announce no budget cuts , Britain is not in a position to keep a huge military budget at all. At this juncture, the longtime ally, the United States, is leaning more towards other fast-growing powers of the world economy than Britain. The association of new economies such as China , India or Brazil is now much more desirable for the United States. There was no end to the pride of the British in London, the most famous city in the world. The world's longest subway system , the diversified system of public transport, made London an example to many cities around the world. London was the biggest reason for Britain's prestige. For many years London was the center of economics , art and literature. Many of the world's oldest corporate bodies were also formed in this city. The various developments on Wall Street were dominated by companies in London. The economic downturn in the banking , housing and other sectors has put those London companies on the right track. The British can now see in front of their eyes that they are falling behind in the rat race of world politics and economy. Despite the economic downturn in Britain, many political pundits have blamed Britain's pro-US stance and its misguided position in world war politics. Britain's involvement in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was a big political mistake - the people and civil society of the country are now beginning to realize this. Capable , energetic and dynamic leadership is needed to overcome the current economic stagnation and regain dominance in the international political arena . But these are the biggest shortcomings among Britain's leaders now.
