Personally for vast sums involved I would prefer to have a fully independent system one that is controlled by the UK Govt in every sense of the word.

So is the money we pay worth what we get in return........probably not !!!!!

Would I prefer not to have any deterrent or the current system then grudingly I would still prefer to have the current system than nothing, as more and more smaller states are eventually going to aquire Nuclear weapons and must know a much bigger stick exists should they ever be mad enough to try and use any form of Nuclear blackmail on the UK.
Which countries would be able to blackmail us with Nukes? The only country that could do that is the US, otherwise we'd have the complete backup of the American nuclear programme whenever a little despot wanted to try his luck. Don't forget France wouldn't necessarily be clear if a bomb went off here, and they have Nukes as well.

No one would threaten us if we got rid of trident.
