Put the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons forward to a referendum
Rejected

What the petition asks
The replacement of Trident will use funds badly needed for other areas, of greater benefit to the British people. The facts are: that the global security threat has moved on from needing a nuclear deterrent; it is dependant on US technology to launch; and only 7 other counties even have them.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
