Since Trident is such a big issue though, one which extends beyond party politics, I really feel like a referendum is more appropriate. There are people across the political spectrum who are opposed to nuclear weapons, and those few anti-nuclear tories won't have their voices heard on this issue because their party leadership are in support of them.
It's an issue more important than the EU too, imo.
