SYRIA All of the Northern Ireland MPs who took part in the House of Commons vote on military action in Syria voted against UK intervention. –
North Belfast MP, Nigel Dodds, said it was „a good day for Parliament which asserted the voice of the people“.
„didn’t want to see military intervention and the UK and its soldiers and its resources being dragged into what it is effectively a nasty sectarian war in Syria“. „We made it very, very clear that of course we are appalled by this awful chemical attack in Syria but we have not heard any convincing evidence that a military strike – and it’s been said that ‚oh this will be a quick surgical military strike‘ – but there is absolutely no evidence, and the prime minister nor anybody else can give any assurance that’s what it would be. „In fact, what it could do would be to lead to large-scale regional destabilisation, with further attacks by other major players like Iran, or whatever. It could make things a lot worse, more people could die.“
