Rejected petition Reduce International Development Budget

More details

I would like the government to reduce the United Kingdom's expenditure on International Development projects. In essence, why are we trying to reduce the inequalities of opportunity around the world today and promoting global prosperity when quite clearly there is a need to address these issues on the home front. We should be strenghtening our own country and armed services first before meddling in the affairs of others!
