Problem folks is, that the Military are almost a nuisance to all political parties come election time, they are mentioned in the manifestos rather as an after thought. Two of the best Defence Secretaries the UK has had over the years were both from Labour, Merlyn Rees & Roy Mason. I wonder, purely as a matter of interest, what the BNP's view is re the UK Armed Forces & the Military. Ok try this senario, Conservatives get the largest number of seats, but not an outright majority. David Cameron offers Nick Clegg the post of Defence Secretary in a Tory / Lib Dem goverment?
