What the petition asks
The UK Government is spending billions on armed conflicts which we believe are against British interests. In both conflicts the Government is prioritising one side, which we believe is against the interests of world peace. We want referendums on whether the UK should be neutral in these conflicts.
The Government's foreign policies should be based on the UK's best interests. The UK public have suffered economically because of imposing sanctions on Russia. The UK has committed ongoing support for Ukraine totalling £12bn to date, which we believe has only caused more suffering. This money is desperately needed by UK citizens to help with rising costs of living and energy prices, improve local and government services, infrastructure, NHS and much more. Referendums give people the final say.
