@brianstockport the PM has the constitutional right to take the country to war without permission from Parliament and always has. -
@JuliaHB1 Again you are misinformed. The House is now required to give approval. That is why there is a debate.#Democracy -
@brianstockport no, Blair started that. Not required.

@JuliaHB1 A government elected by 24% of the population going to war scares me silly. That's why we have a new convention. -
@ohforfs it wasn't 24% of the vote and you know that. Is it better for the MPs of parties with less support than this Govt to have a veto? -
@JuliaHB1 I think the whole elected chamber equating to all the votes should choose. Just personal preference ;) -
@ohforfs and what about those voters who didn't bother to vote? You care a lot about their views being represented. How do we do that? -
@JuliaHB1 Didn't vote - then no say as far as I am concerned. People should get out and use their vote. -

@JuliaHB1 Obviously you don't understand the difference between govt and legislature. -
@iBreezeblock obviously you don't understand the concept of royal prerogative.

@JuliaHB1 actually it's only the backbenchers that we elect... not the Government. -
@benpmoody you know what I mean... -
@JuliaHB1 indeed. I should go for lunch rather than being pedantic on Twitter.

@JuliaHB1 We don't elect governments. We elect MPs to sit in a Parliament and they chose the government. -
@BBCPropaganda and that govt has the right to bomb without seeking approval from parliament. - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1 I never understood why Cameron wouldn't have simply used his royal prerogative. He has the authority he should exercise it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
