Require a UK wide referendum before donating £10 Million or more to any country

Closed 227 signatures

What the petition asks

Before any UK government can donate more than £10 million to any foreign country there should be a UK national referendum held and the result should be legally binding.
Money is borrowed by UK governments. Millions of pounds have been donated by UK governments to other countries. I think this is leaving an ever growing debt to be paid by future generations in this country.
