Description

Decision makers, presented by Judith Dawson. The SDP-Liberal Alliance believes it can win enough votes at the next general election to strike a power-sharing deal with either of the two main political parties. But would Labour or the Conservatives entertain such an idea? They appear united in their scepticism. Contributions from SDP leader Dr David Owen; Hal Miller, Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party; Robin Cook, Labour Party; Peter Kellner, Political Editor of the New Statesman; David Penhaligon, Liberal MP; Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Engineer: Heather Branwell.
