This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Give the public the chance to vote on foreign aid.
More details
Foreign aid is being handed out to countries such as India, which have publicly stated they do not require it, and to countries like Nigeria, that are so corrupt it is likely the citizens of that country don't see any of the money. We are currently borrowing money, which ultimately we pay interest on, before we just hand this out to other countries. Therefore, allow the public to vote on whether to continue aid to certain countries, and let us decide whether OUR taxes should be used first and formost, towards lifting OUR country out of our current situation.
