A new poll suggests people in the United Kingdom are divided over the government of Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans to carry out a bombing campaign against Daesh militants in Syria.
On Wednesday, as a vote in the Commons is expected to give David Cameron a substantial majority to start bombarding Daesh positions inside Syria, a survey conducted by the online polling organization, voteScotland-England, has shown that voters in Scotland and the rest of the UK hold divergent views on the need for further military action in Syria.
According to the poll results, a clear majority of Scots, that is, 72 percent, are against airstrikes that are possible to intensify the hatred of Daesh towards the UK. Most of those polled in Scotland said they were against the air raids as they could worsen the current situation by intensifying Daesh terrorists’ hatred towards Britons.
This is while about 54 percent of voters in England are in favor of the air attacks in Syria, saying that the campaign, which would be an extension of the UK’s air assaults against Daesh in Iraq, would be aimed at weakening the militants operating in Syria and neighboring Iraq, as well as in other countries.
