Defence and security
My response to CND, who are seeking the views of general election candidates...I'm an anti-nuclear campaigner, both nuclear weapons and nuclear power, of over 25 yrs standing. I would certainly vote against the replacement of Trident and would vote for a Nuclear Weapons Convention aimed at banning all nuclear weapons internationally.As a Green MP I would work to:
*Ensure that the British military is only used in self defence, or as a last resort, within an international UN-led policing force;
*Improve the military to promote human security, by focusing only on defence not aggression and specialising in crisis prevention, emergency relief and conflict resolution;
*Seek binding global agreements against all weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapons;
*End all export subsidies and increase controls on UK arms sales, especially to goverments who violate human rights.
