Scott Ludlum - Parliament should decide on 'discretionary' wars...

Scott Ludlum makes a reasonable point in this short video.  Where the nation is committing to a new and discretionary war, it ought to be a question for the parliament as a whole to decide (as, effectively, the best way to judge the 'will of the nation').

Ludlum clarifies that he is not remotely suggesting that the 'conduct' of any war is handled other than by the executive...  just the decision to commence such a war, where there is optionality around that decision.

Seems a pretty reasonable position to take...
