It is my understanding that the Scots do not like being in Iraq so why can the English prime minister be the soul dictator as to where the UK troops go?

Sadly he ISN'T the English Prime Minister, indeed he is actually SCOTTISH & is the Prime Minister of the UK. England is the only part of the UK not to have their own parliament or devolved form of government, but if the English want that then they have to mobilise their voite for it. Whereas the Scottish Government has control over a whole range of issues, the matter of defence is still dealt with by the UK government, hence the fact that many Scots don't like being Iraq, but have no choice about being there.

firstly, he isn't elected by the English, he is elected by the people of the united kingdom, secondly no-one wants to be in Iraq and thirdly, Scottish military is not a devolved issue
