There is still some time to go until the election, but so far pre election statements from politicians seem to include:

Freezing energy bills for 18 months.
Reducing tuition fees
Creating/guaranteeing apprenticeship places
Building 200,000/300,000/??? houses a year
A mansion tax
Immigration
Increasing personal tax thresholds
Deficit reductions
Protecting NHS and education spending
etc
etc

But no real mention of defence, in fact all I have seen was a comment on building the new Type 26 frigates, which is pretty much business as usual, and a couple of parties who are very anti a Trident replacement.

At the moment, DEFENCE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AN ISSUE IN THIS ELECTION.


Standing by to be corrected - hopefully politely please!
