Yes. Although there is no poll

Trident, **** yes. When the Ruskies pitch up at our shores, we'll just threaten to flip a couple of big ones on Moscow and they'll **** off with their tales between their legs. Without this we would be bolloxed.

Ive decided letting France pick the bill up works for me.
You would have to be some sort of unrealistic hippy not to want to protect yourself from nutters out there. The irony of it is, Trident actually prevents nuclear war. HS2 is just a waste of money and will ruin a lot of lives in the process of building it. What will it really achieve?

Exactly. People seem to think because we will never use it is somehow pointless. The point is to never use it, but to DETER other nuclear powers from using their nuclear weapons against the UK.
My option isn't on the list - keep the CURRENT trident and scrap HS2.

Reluctantly yes to Trident - I'd rather we didn't have to have it, but I think we do. HS2 - no; wrong 'solution' entirely.
And yes, we do need to get promotion to get to the PL. Anyone know of another way?

in the grand scheme of things Tridents annual cost is cheap as chips,others may tell you different but they are lying
might as well keep it, it works!

In London village.
Linking up the northern cities and improving commuter service is far preferable to HS2.
I don't have a problem with retaining nuclear weapons as such but a massively expensive delivery system that is significantly under the control of a foreign country is simply political viagra for flaccid "statesmen" not a sensible choice for the 21st century,

Both a BIG waste of money.
Plenty of bombs etc, to wipe out this planet already, we don't need anymore..
HS2- One line is not enough to revamp the economy. Huge investment needed, upgrading the WHOLE network, with extra lines. Other countries seem able to do it, without some fat cats lining their pockets.

That would involve the considerable cost of scrapping Trident, plus the massive cost of constructing HS2, and then making it unusable. Who are you voting for this year? I'll have to cross them off my list of potential votes!

In this digital age I fail to see how saving an hour on the train to Manchester is going to generate the business and financial benefits they claim it will. It's just a political bribe to curry favour with the north. As for trident, can't stand the idea of nuclear weapons but the fact is we have them and we can't eradicate the knowledge of how to produce them. Better to have that deterrent than not.
Whoosh it was tongue in cheek
