 Trident - a matter of conscience? - Manatee
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he would be voting against the government because he "cannot support a weapon of mass destruction", urging Labour MPs to "respect each other's views".

I have some regards for this view, having been brought up with Quakerism, but I don't think he is actually a pacifist.

Surely the point at issue is whether the defence of the nation requires a nuclear deterrent? That is a matter of judgement, not conscience.
