UK PM Cameron loses vote on attack to Syria
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The UK house of commons voted against an Attack on Syria, with the total vote count standing at 275 vs 235, which should lead to expectation of a weekend strike against Syria being reduced, if only a little.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said "to understands public and parliamentary scepticism about Syrian military action & will act accordingly." According to Eamonn Sheridan from Forexlive, "This is a big defeat for government foreign policy, a large number of his own MPs voting against him", adding "the other key take away from this is the impact it has on British leadership and politics, which is not positive for the pound."
