Stop EU Army Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) & support NATO instead

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

the Conservatives are planning to commit the UK to even greater military integration and spending with the EU. PESCO is not about cooperation, which we do already within NATO, but it is about integration losing control of our armed forces to the EU.

Why it was rejected

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

That Parliament should not agree to the UK being part of an EU defence force.
