British members of the parliament held a debate over a petition calling for the ban of Donald Trump in the U.K. Majority of the members expressed their votes against the ban as it could potentially severe U.K ties with the U.S. and would only make Trump a martyr.

Banning Trump in the U.K. would only support his hate-fuelled campaign, according to members of the British Parliament. BBC reported that MPs mulled over the petition over a debate held on Monday at the Westminster Hall. Among those from the Labour Party who expressed their thoughts against the ban include Paul Flynn and Naz Shah. Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh is also against the petition.

Restricting the businessman-turned-politician to enter the country would only turn him into a martyr, according to Labour Party member Flynn.

"The great danger by attacking this one man is that we can fix on him a halo of victimhood. We give him the role of martyrdom which can seem to be an advantage among those who support him," Flynn addressed the full-packed hall, adding that instead Trump's "prejudice" should be treated with reasonable courtesy and hospitality.

Shah, on the other hand, is willing to invite Trump into the U.K. to challenge his views while Leigh pointed out that banning the U.S. presidential candidate would bring a bad impression of the U.K. to its allied country. Sir Edward Leigh also made a point by comparing Trump to other people who were invited to the country whose crimes far outweighs the American business magnate's.

"We have welcomed to the country Saudi and Chinese leaders, not to mention Mr Ceausescu, whose crimes are far worse than anything Mr Trump can dream up," he stated to make a point against the ban, according to BBC.

According to CNN, Prime Minister David Cameron has also already reiterated his opposition against any ban petition on Trump. Cameron said the politician's radical opinions about the Muslims may be deemed "stupid and wrong" but it doesn't necessarily warrant a ban.

However, Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston said allowing Trump to enter British soil would only be sending a wrong message to the U.S. that the U.K. tolerates those who "demonise" people just because of their religion.

The debate was raised after over 576, 000 people signed a petition addressed to the parliament calling for Trump to be banned from entering the U.K. The politician's racial campaign against Muslims has not only irked the U.S. people but also those in Britain. However, only British Home Secretary Theresa May has the right to give authority on any ban raised in Britain.
