Trident debate on Liberal Democrat Voice

By the founding editor | Sun 11th February 2007 - 9:00 am

At Spring Conference, running from 2nd – 3rd March, the party will decide its policy on the Trident nuclear system. It looks set to be the contentious debate of this conference.

Over the next two weeks we’ll run three pieces on Lib Dem Voice. The first, published tomorrow, outlines the situation and proposes an unconventional solution. The second, published towards the end of the week, will make the case for scrapping Trident. Finally, next week the third article will make the case for the motion going to conference (which proposes a reduction, rather than abolition, of Trident nuclear warheads). The pieces will be by three different authors.

Comment and debate is actively encouraged – and I’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate that Lib Dem Voice itself is a resolutely neutral platform on policy issues.

I’m also looking for people who would be interested in ‘reporting’ from spring conference in Harrogate – I won’t be going. If you can help, please drop me an e-mail at [email protected].

What’s going on with party strategy?

A strange but welcome feeling
