Yes, but its power is slowly fading.

A better answer would be, simply, yes. Great Britain (the United Kingdom) is a member of the G-7, G-8 and G-20. However not only is it a member of these economic organisations, but is a highly powerful, influential and respected member.

Great Britain is also a member of the United Nations Security Council (the 'top table' in the UN - United Nations), the UNSC has only 5 members, the United States, Great Britain, Russia, France and China. The UNSC acts as a council where these 5 nations who are the most powerful nations in the world can meat and discuss world events and in effect make important decisions, which change and affect our lives and the global scales of power.

Great Britain has as of 2010 the worlds 6th largest economy and the worlds 3rd largest defence budget (ranked 3rd joint with France). In fact Britain's defence budget and economy is some 40-50% larger than Russia's.

The british empire was once the most feared empire in the whole world, and still a force to be reckoned with, at one point in history england managed to gain control of over 40 different countries. This influence of power which England has gained is still noticable People in England have always been incredibly patriotic, and the leaders have been very very intelligent and knowledgeable, still today. That is obvious. England is only a small island, yet has some of the most up date in the world's weaponryand technology, UK also has nuclear warheads. But England would only ever use them as a last resort. The navy is strong, and the air force could seize control of most countries air space. In my honestopinion I think the only countries which pose a threat to the UK are, USA, russia, and China. But I do believe, if England went to war and nuclear missiles were not used on either side, then England would still put up a incredible fight, because war is also about tactics, and England are verytacticalwhen it comes to war.

The system of Government is very strong, any particular elected government's strength depends on the majority the government commands in the House of Commons. The current (2010) UK government is a coalition and is of moderate strength.
