Ministers drop plans for war powers law

Ministers drop plans for war powers law | Politics | The Guardian

	Quote: The prime minister has the final say on deploying British troops in conflicts, using royal prerogative powers. In 2006, when he was opposition leader, David Cameron said trust in politics could only be restored if MPs had the final say on committing troops to war.

He's got form with past statements - lobbying, tax avoidance and evasion, tax credits...

I think I'd welcome someone taking a war decision out of my hands! But then that doesn't keep the death dealers happy.

Re: Ministers drop plans for war powers law

How is giving MPs the ability to decide to repeat the mistakes of the past going to increase public trust in them again? I really don't see the logic in this at all.
