What the petition asks
After two catastrophic interventions in Iraq and Libya in the last 15 years alone, there is yet again talk of military action in the region.
The government must respect the precedent of the 2013 vote on military action in Syria and be accountable to Parliament and it's citizens.
The government must respect the precedent of the 2013 vote on military action in Syria and be accountable to Parliament and it's citizens.
The stakes are extremely high and with the greatest our respect, previous governments do not have a great track record in this area.
Please, learn from our mistakes as a country and ensure that we avoid the horrific consequences from Iraq and Libya.
