2005 ELECTION LOG: DEFENCE & SECURITY IN THE ELECTION
You should really read these questions being raised by Michael Codner from RUSI. Although I doubt any of the parties are going to answer these clearly and comprehensively -let’s face it, that’s not politicians’ strenght exactly- they are a good guide to understanding the security issues that should matter to our voting decisions. I will be providing brief, note-style answers to each of these in the coming days, so you know what you would get if I were a party and you would vote me in. Remember, this is the most important issue there is: national security is the first duty of the central government which we will be determining in early May.
