Almost three-quarters of people believe MPs were right to reject UK military action in Syria, a poll commissioned by the BBC has suggested.
The poll also suggested 72% did not think the move would damage the UK-US relationship - and two-thirds said they would not care if it did. Link.
Seems Parliament was right about the country's mood - even if the Prime Minister and Government were not. Now we need our Government to start listening to the UK public regarding the "Special Relationship."
It's not Special and it's not a Relationship; we don't hate America and we will go into battle when the cards are down but we must not be a poodle and we must develop our independence and military capability so we don't have to lean on America for our own defence
