Public say NO to Trident
The British people are opposed to replacing Trident, according to today's YouGov opinion poll in the Daily Telegraph. This is true of Conservative supporters, as well as Labour/Lib Dem ones, according to Tony King.
In total less than 1/3rd of those with an opinion wish to see it being replaced, with just under 1/2th believing the money saved should be spent on conventional weapons, and about 1/5th believing it should be spent on neither.
This is important. The political establishment tend to be 100% behind the silly idea of replacing it, with some honourable exceptions such as Michael Portillo. That decent, honest, Englishman can see through this political posturing of our nation's conservative elites makes one optimistic about the future of our great nation [(c) all right-wing blogs]
