Brown urges Obama to build "a new global order..."

Gordon Brown has called for the election of Barack Obama to be the starting point of a 'truly global society' where nations will work together rather than being 'frozen by events' such as the current financial crisis.

Speaking at the Lord Mayor's banquet on Monday Night, the Prime Minister gave a stirring call-to-arms for the U.S. and Europe to work together for the good of the globe.

He said: 'My message is that we must be: internationalist not protectionist; interventionist not neutral; progressive not reactive; and forward looking not frozen by events. We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society.

'The alliance between Britain and the U.S. - and more broadly between Europe and the U.S. - can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order.' More...
