Why didn't the British stage a coup to prevent Britain from entering the Iraq war? (how much)

[Steve Reese]

I thought the majority of British were against the war? I thought that the majority of British believed that the war was wrong and would lead to many problems, which today it did, so why didn't the British people called for snap elections or stage a coup or revolted against their government when they knew they were going to enter the war? I understand that stopping the US, by force of course and not just through words, is hard but surely you can stop the people you elected from doing things you don't want them to do, so why didn't you do it? I thought Britain was a democracy and in a democracy the will of the people is sacred? So why didn't the British people fight for their sacredness and this would become a warning to the succeeding governments that it just cannot do what it wants without the peoples consent? And aside from morality and ethics which I thought Europe was high at, look at the problems that it has caused you today?

What made you think this? Isn't everybody always 'against' war? Hasn't stopped mankind from brawling throughout history though has it?

Why do you keep trying to troll the forum with anti western posts ?

I could be wrong but there looks to be a theme here


Why does Britain ally itself with the US if the US is a terrible country?

Why is it wrong when a Western country refuses to take in refugees but it's okay for non Western countries to do that?

Why didn't Europe kick out US bases when the US was going to invade Iraq?

If the US is a terrible country, why don't Americans dismantle it? (crime, how much)

Why didn't Europe sever ties with the US when Trump became president?

Why didn't the British stage a coup to prevent Britain from entering the Iraq war?

Because we are not a banana republic.

As for your Anti-American threads they were tiresome when you posted them under previous usernames and are still tiresome.
