Refuse to intervene alongside the US in taking military action against Syria

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Donald Trump has launched air missiles against Syria without the move being approved by Congress first. This is dangerous as it will increase the civilian death toll and provide ample opportunity for terrorist groups to prosper in Syria. We are urging the UK does not take similar action.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Policy of UK to not officially join a coalition for military action in Syria.
