Petition · past parliament

Have a public vote on the decision of bombing Syria

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

At 10:30 pm on 02/12/15 UK parliament decided to go ahead with Syrian air strikes without consulting the UK public for their input or vote. This is not our war to be a part of and as a citizen of Britain I do not want to be part of this war. 100,000 signatures and parliament HAVE to consider this.

Why it was rejected
