During the election campaign the Liberal Democrats argued that with the Cold War long over, the ‘like for like’ replacement of Trident is both unnecessary and unaffordable.
The Lib Dem’s also pledged to include Trident in a full Strategic Security and Defence Review (SSDR). So far the Tory / Lib Dem coalition government has made no detailed statements about their policy on building new nuclear weapons and whether Trident will be included in the SSDR.
In the run up to the election 1000’s of Greenpeace supporters contacted their parliamentary candidates, to ask those candidates to commit to include Trident within the SSDR. You may have done this, and you may have received a reply from your Lib Dem candidate.
98 of those replies are posted here.
Now the election is over we’d like you to find out what your local Lib Dem candidates and MPs have to say about Trident. Please post any responses you receive below.
