The US influence over GB decision-making. But...who knows...it would sure be a breath of fresh air to see Brown change course. Time will tell...

Much depends on Murdoch. For example, if Brown had to choose between an open war with the British press or just let the people say no to the constitutional treaty, it will never be ratified.
On the other hand, the Iraq war has never been popular in the UK and Brown is certainly less of a Bush- poodle than Blair (is that even a compliment?).
