I voted no but wish to qualify that view, I cannot see in these times where this Govt is cutting the livelihoods of the citizens of the UK how it can promise and give as much aid as it is continuing to do so elsewhere in the World.

I think there needs to be an overhaul of how aid is given, if the aid for say,starving children can get directly to them then yes, of course give that aid, other aid also needs to be targeted and ensured that it gets to the people who need it and moreso only to the people who will ensure that aid is given and can prove it is given to the real needy.
No child should be born to die as infants of starvation anywhere in the World in this present age, so more needs to be done to get as far as eradicating that problem as possible with the support of all the stronger Nations of the World,not just the UK.

No more handing funds over to Govts who do 'not' use the funds fully for aid at all.It would be wrong to stand back and allow children to die of starvation but much of the aid currently given to relieve that, likely never gets to the people who need it.

AS for bail outs, well I doubt if other Nations will rush to bail out the UK and so we need to put a stop to that too, according to this Govt, things are now far worse for the UK economically than when this coalition took over,so the aid programme needs to be strongly reduced and also more strongly regulated.
Just as it is being done via the benefits and taxes structure to all the citizens of the UK.
