David Cameron said today ‘Parliament spoke very clearly and it’s important to respect the view of parliament so I’m not planning to return to parliament to ask again about British military action.’
Nick Clegg has said “could not foresee any circumstances” in which the government would ask MPs to vote again, following their rejection of the PM’s proposal for military action last Thursday.
The Spectator on  a second vote say, David Cameron would therefore need the assurance not just of Miliband’s support for the motion, but of a three-line whip for his party. Which is why the vote won’t happen
If you’re cynical about politicians being truthful or think the situation in Syria will deteriorate and UK involvement is inevitable , you’ll take the 5/1, if you’d like a 10% return in less than four months, you’d take the no option.
I wonder if the vote in America will have an impact?
