@fkamiah17@MadeyeTheCarnaptious yeah, having looked it up you’re right. Iraq war was actually the first example in modern times of UK government seeking parliamentary approval beforehand.
I think my view of it is coloured by the fact it was later found to be based on a faulty premise, and I was very much against it at the time. So I wrongly assumed that Blair must have forced through his illegal war. 😂
