I was very disappointed, whilst unsurprised, to learn that the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats all plan to replace Trident in some form if they get into power.

English voters can only prevent wasting another £100billion (and the inevitable added extras) on the Trident replacement programme by voting Green on May 7.

In addition to saving a significant sum for the taxpayer every year, scrapping Trident would also ensure that the United Kingdom is finally and fully committing to the Non-Proliferation Treaty we signed in 1968.

Through this we would signal to other nations, both to those in possession and those seeking, that nuclear weapons are not the only route to national security.
