==================================================

So she is strongly for anti-terrorism laws, very strongly for the Iraq War and very strongly against investigating it, and is very strongly for wasting billions and billions of hard-earned taxpayers money which should be spent on schools and hospitals on a brand, new, shiny set of missiles with which to kill millions of people ie replacing Trident.

I am not impressed at all. In this appointment the agenda rolls on. The way this appointment has been presented was possibly the reason for hiding this voting record. She is reportedly the first woman to hold this post, but her opinions are highly testosterone-fuelled.
