UK war Powers

[dimpy.handa]

The open process of parliamentary debate could be very damaging to military effectiveness. The success of operations often depends on the element of surprise, which would be entirely removed if the decision to declare war was taken away from the Prime Minister and given to over 600 MPs through televised debates. And if MPs are to debate the issues involved properly, then the secret intelligence available to the government will have to be made known to them. This could aid any enemy and greatly compromise British military planning by revealing the extent of our knowledge, and also risks exposing our intelligence services by allowing their methods and agents to be identified.

Giving such a power would be detrimental to the interests of the nation as a whole. If such a power is given to the Parliament, then every time there's a change in the power, Britain's international relation policy will also be changed according to the whims and fancies of those in power.
