David Cameron loses Commons vote on Syria action

British MPs have voted to reject possible military action against the Assad regime in Syria to deter the use of chemical weapons.

A government motion was defeated 285 to 272, a majority of 13 votes.

Prime Minster David Cameron said it was clear Parliament does not want action and "the government will act accordingly".

It effectively rules out British involvement in any US-led strikes against the Assad regime.

6. But woe betide Cameron if it was leaked.

And that has to be rather more likely than it was ten years ago.

A good outcome. Now can they sit down and think about what WOULD benefit Syrian civilians, please ...

7. At the present time.....

.....it would appear that it's not so much what's the best solution for the people of Syria as the least worst. it's a terrible situation.

However, under the circumstances I do think that Britain staying neutral is the least worst solution. Such a policy still comes with problems, but less problems then military intervention in my opinion.
