There would be no element of surprise if there was a parliamentary vote on air strikes. They would just move the equipment out of the buildings until the strikes have ceased. |

It's a sad sign of how poor our general political education is that Sky is the source of what should be common knowledge. The Constitution is composed of statutes, legal rulings and conventions. The right to declare war or any other kind of aggression is royal, and can be deferred by convention to whomever the sovereign chooses. That's it. The 'Prime Minister' doesn't exist constitutionally, the First Lord of the Treasury does. There are many grey areas in the Constitution, but that isn't one of them.
Indeed ... one poster in particular seems insistent of publicising his ignorance at every available opportunity ! |

the Surrender Monkey
the 5 minute warning
the four week wait
Many on here have no idea who or what you're on about
You make up childish names for people
And type randomly about events or imaginations
Worst of all is a deluded expectation for posters to understand
