Petition · past parliament

Make all MPs that want to go to war fight on the front line themselves!

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Politicians always seem to decide who we should bomb and who we should invade. It seems the government haven't learnt anything from the past 15 years!! If they want oil, they should go themselves!!
As Harry Patch the last WW1 survivor said "I feel now as I did then that the politicians who sent us to war should be given guns and told to settle their differences on their own"!!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be an individual decision for the MPs concerned, not the responsibility of Parliament as a whole.
