Rejected petition Have a parliamentary debate before any further militay action is taken in Syria.

There has been another alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria. The government seem keen to back Donald Trump’s decision for further bombing in reaction to this. This could quite easily escalate into a third world war and therefore such an important matter should first be debated in parliament.
