PUBLIC VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST the decision to further AIRSTRIKES in Syria

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

It has been voted in the House of Commons ONLY by Members of Parliament whether or not we should carry out airstrikes in Syria. A vast number of the public including myself believe that not only should we have a direct say, but we call a VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE against the decision made.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like there to be a referendum on this decision, you could sign this petition:

Hold a referendum on whether we should engage in military combat against IS
