Britain to abandon pledge in getting MPs’ consent to launch wars
Press TV – October 24, 2013
The UK government is mulling over changing the course on whether it should win parliament’s consent before engaging in acts of war, media reports said.
A convention was created as per former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s decision in 2003 to seek MPs’ approval before joining the US-led invasion of Iraq in March that year, according to which the parliament was given the right to vote over the use of force.
