Rejected petition Can we get politicians that vote for war sent to the front to show conviction

Having served and had most of my family serve I have seen a true lack of leadership from those that order us to war. A military is for defence yet we attack in the name of defence. If this is truly believed by our leadership then put them on the front lines where they can lead rather than watch.

More details

The evidence that politicians do not fight wars is pretty simple to see.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The decision to join the armed forces is one for an individual to make, not the responsibility of the Government and Parliament as a whole.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
