: All of this is up for grabs, along with who we are and how we see ourselves, but the content of the campaign has largely passed all this by, according to The Guardian. The vacuum left has been filled with invective – the crackle of thorns beneath an empty pot. The campaign ought to have led the country through the challenges of inter-generational importance that we face in this moment: how we compete and become more productive and not just watch that deficit balloon, how we fund our public services sustainably without beggaring the next generation, how we reform the governance of a diverse union without allowing the politics of division to define us, how we determine our role in the world. Vigorous exchange by all means, but the destructive aggression towards opponents and their democratic legitimacy must end. Yet one of Fallon predecessors as Tory defence secretary, Michael Portillo, actually does want Trident to go. The best example is Michael Fallon attack on Ed Miliband as stabbing his country in the back over a position on Trident he doesn’t even hold.
