Owen hopes that by standing for Election he will be able to question the new Labour Government on its plans for defending this country. There is a war in Europe already, and there are genuine fears that it may widen into a major conflict. A 1938 Munich moment may face us sometime in the next five-year Parliament.

The Green Party is not credible on Defence.
No major party is credible on the Environment.
