Dr David Owen 's mother believes that politicians
'live in an ivory tower - they need to be brought back down to earth'.
Is the Alliance's claim that they are a major third force in British politics a dream or a reality? Will they hold the middle ground in the next general election? And which David will lead - Owen or Steel?
In the last Labour government, Dr David Owen was the youngest Foreign
Secretary in history. Tonight he is Open to Question by young people from all over Britain.
