This week's poll: Trident renewal

George Osborne recently announced £500m worth of investment into Faslane naval base, which brought the UK’s renewal of Trident nuclear deterrent back into the news. 

  • The UK needs a nuclear capability, and renewing Trident is the best option.
  • The UK needs a nuclear capability, but Trident is too expensive. Cheaper options should be investigated.
  • The UK needs a nuclear capability, but Trident should not be renewed for reasons other reasons than cost (please specify in comments)
  • Trident should be renewed but not based at Faslane
  • The UK does not need a nuclear capability, so Trident should not be renewed.
  • None of the above
