1: There's a General Election campaign going on, so no one's really paying attention to the rest of the planet.
2: The UK is currently undergoing a monumental identity crisis which has come to a head after the Scottish independence referendum last year.
3: The UK's fundamentally broke and none of the political parties have any real idea as to how to fix it.
As for Trident, it's regrettable necessity, but it'll have to be moved from Faslane. Not because I support the SNP's position, but it'll hopefully stop Glasgow gurning about it!! I'm fed up with the constant "We're no wantin' it hear, pal"!!!!! If they're prepared to take the jobs hit, I'm sure somewhere else would simply love to have the boost to their economy!
Arguably the best location for it would be Cornwall or Devon as those are the closest to the continental shelf and deep water.
