Of coarse they can have a say on the world stage, I just think that we British still have this mindset (or at least the government does) that we are still a global empire which we are not. IMO we just need to know where are place is, instead of getting too involved in Americas foreign policies which we tend to do.

We have the 5th largest economy in the world but we are no superpower (not anymore) our empire fell a long time ago
