Actually Hugh Wood, as painful as this is, according to parliamentary law, the mission extension or new mission is within his discretion, without a vote.

@sistersage: Thankyou.  Nothing like stirring people up by leading them along and deceiving them.

Clearly many posters here are deceived, not knowing the facts, the law, the House of Parliament.  The things that gall me most is that they are led by authors such as this, who ought to have credible knowledge of the truth.  Yet even then are piping a tune the children like to hear.  I read these comments quite thoroughly, and it is clear they have their public dancing to the tune like puppets on a string.
