David Cameron at odds with his constituents

So what do you do if you are the leader of a party who believes in the need for new nuclear weapons but your constituents - the people you are meant to represent - don't?

I suppose you could look at the enormous cost of the Trident programme (£97 BILLION!) and weigh that against the social and economic needs of the country bearing in mind that the UK is flat broke, in debt and expecting the bailiffs to be knocking on the door asking for the crown jewels at any moment.

Or would that be too sensible?

The people of Witney could clearly see sence as they voted last Saturday against new Trident.

The five members of Oxford Greenpeace who did the poll recieved a resounding 297 no's and 37 yes's.

Witney is of course Camerons constituency, so we wrote to him before doing the poll and he assured us that,

"Nuclear weapons cannot be uninvented" and that if elected the Conservative party will be following a policy of a minimum, strategic, nuclear deterrent.

So will David do the job he was elected for and listen to his people.....or not?

We will try to get an answer for you.
