I think the military will take over eventually if JC is elected. Probably already being discussed. If he won't take the nuclear deterrent seriously he is undermining the defence of the country and that will not be tolerated.
JC has had his day already I think. He is starting to overplay his hand and be seen for the political opportunist that he is. His economic policies and his chancellor have no credibility whatsoever. A few months with interest rates at 12% ( because nobody would lend to labour below those rates last time there was a left wing labour government), rising unemployment and bankruptcy in the public sector so nothing to pay all those public servants with, and people will want the Tories back again.
I am just old enough to remember Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan and Denis Healey, 3 day weeks, power cuts and the winter of discontent. Labour is always brought down by its own core supporters.
Just give it time.
I have to reply to this - a military coup! Get a grip. This is not Pakistan nor a Tom Clancy novel. The nuclear deterrent is an irrelevance. When is it ever going to get used? What are you going to do with it? Keeps BA Systems going in Workington and Barrow and our loose grip on the top table at the UN. JC is only saying what I and from conversation several folk I know think. Big white elephant. Next thing you will be saying is you are off to that Observer Corps bunker at Binbrook.
