I can't see any English politician making this decision. The "independent" nuclear deterrent has always been militarily useless and offered no threat to aggressors (Falkland War anyone?) while draining vital resources away from actually useful and effective conventional military forces. Eventually England's military capability will be a squaddie with a bent spoon and, stuck in a maintenance yard somewhere, a few submarines armed with missiles going nowhere.
