Scotland votes against Trident
10 years ago
So last night, the Scottish parliament voted overwhelmingly against renewing Trident at a score of 96 to 17. Only one Labour MP voted in favour of renewing the nuclear submarines with all the rest including all the SNP MSPs voting against it. This is a big victory for opponents of Trident and a big blow to the UK government, who are in favour of it. Jeremy Corbyn, who leads the UK Labour Party opposes Trident also depsite many of his own MPs supporting it. The vote in Scotland is, however, causes many problems for David Cameron and most of the UK MPs. One of the main bases is based in Faslane, Scotland. Union reps want to keep it just because of the jobs but I think they could be better off doing more meaningful jobs. Can't wait to see what the reactions are for the rest of the UK government, particularly the tories.
