Or Corbyn will let his MP's have a free vote on the issue and respect the result as any true democrat would.

You can equally have substituted Farage for Corbyn. Not that you would but you get the idea.

Neither of you are likely to have your hands on the nuclear button. It's not just about having them it's also about whether you might also use them. A future enemy might take a guess that the UK may as well not have them as Corbyn would never use them.

Has he said he wouldn't defend us?  

I thought he was for getting rid of Trident, which if done would mean there is no nuclear button.

I thought he said: "He cannot currently envisage circumstances in which he would agree to deploy Britain’s armed forces on overseas military operations."  or this:  Asked by Kendall whether there were any circumstances in which he would deploy military forces, Corbyn said: “Any? I am sure there are some. But I can’t think of them at the moment.”  

He also said this:  In a Guardian interview last month, Corbyn suggested that the threshold for sanctioning armed intervention by Britain would have to involve a conflict on the scale of the second world war.

Cannot see a refusal to defend us anywhere.
