What Is The Position Of Labour On Our Nuclear Weapons.?

[-Talbot-]

I'm getting a mixed message

Labour commuted to the trident system
Jeremy not committed to the trident system.

Which is it ... what am I voting for if I vote Labour?

[TWR]

U Turn by JC I think T, He's following T.M. with U Turns.

[cassa333]

What are you going for if you vote Labour? A shambles.

They can't even decide amongst themselves so how they think they can cope in power is laughable.

[Old_Geezer]

All parties have varying opinions they debate.

Similar thread here. http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1549366.html My answer's much the same here.

[-Talbot-]

It was said this morning that backing Trident was going in the manifesto ... how can Jeremy carry on when he is so against it?

I think Jeremy is every bit a swivel eyed loon as a swivel eyed loon.

Do any of the party's know what they are doing? Chimps party come to mind.

[anneasquith]

You been to many chimp parties twr to compare ?:-)

[youngmafbog]

I've been to a few chimps tea parties in my time as have many who have Children and yes it does resemble one.

To be fair to the majority of Labour MP's they are pro Nuclear deterrent. They may wish, ike many of us, that we didnt have to use it but they do have some reality. JC is a dedicated CND type. Totally devoid of any reality in life, as he is leader that is a big problem for the Party as a whole.

Pretty sure Labour's position on Nuclear weapons is well-summarised by this clip:

[Kromovaracun]

Labour's position on nuclear weapons is "Oh my god! Look over there! [runs away]"

[emmie]

i thought Jeremy was committed to Trident, could be wrong of course, they seem to change their minds so often.

[ichkeria]

The party supports Trident, Corbyn is against it.
It pains me to say it, but I doubt it matters, in all honesty.

[hereIam]

Corbyn's a pacifist isn't he ..?

[emmie]

if he's a pacifist he'd be useless come a war.. having to make the decision to send in troops or drop bombs..

[bhg481]

I liken the nuclear deterrent to an insurance policy - you pay your premium and hope you'll never have to use it.
Having Labour supporting Trident and Corbyn promising never to use it is like taking out an insurance policy, paying the premium and promising never to make a claim.

[TWR]

He would not think that if the "Haircut" sent one over from N.K. HereIam

[emmie]

from 2015

• The Labour leader was calm and persuasive in making his case on the Andrew Marr show yesterday. But Marr pressed him: "It does sound to me like you’re against bombing under all circumstances. Are you a pacifist, would you describe yourself as a pacifist?"

Corbyn replied: "No, I wouldn’t describe myself as a pacifist, but I would describe an act of violence, an act of war, as absolutely a very last resort."

[hereIam]

I think he's a 'closet' pacifist !

[mushroom25]

interesting that in last week's party election broadcast, it was worded such that it wasn't "labour will do xxx" or "labour will ensure that xxxx" but "jeremy will...." or "mr corbyn will" - almost like the labour prty was setting itself up to be a personality cult.
