Wrong. That was only a vote to begin a study of upgrading the nukes by 2021, it was not a vote for design or construction. Even then, Blair was fought at every turn by half of his own party as well as the Liberal party. If not for David Cameron and the conservatives the study would have been indefinitely postponed.
The UK is consumed by its struggle to support the national health service. A precursor of our own future under Medicare.
BUMP
Same thing.
That's the way Britain works. If it was just a vote on a study, then there would be no study would there?
That is why it was headline news for weeks leading up to the vote.
