I think the SNP did that, have you watched her speaking? She isn't exactly a political or intellectual heavyweight, or an impressive speaker at all.

The Master Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Fair doos but they dinnae need tae be raging republicans. That woman is the FIRST Elizabeth of the UK. Even a raging royalist would have tae agree and accept that The oath doesn't actually mention the monarch's number. They either swear: "I [name] swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God." Or affirm: "I [name] do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors according to law". Not taking the oath means they can't take their seats. And we don't want that. Even the staunch republican Dennis Skinner takes the oath, although he is given a bit of leeway when it comes to (lack of) clarity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still makes my blood boil that a Republican would still have to say the oath to get in to parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Fair enough. It still makes my blood boil that a Republican would still have to say the oath to get in to parliament. Me too, he should just say I've been elected by my constituents so ram it I'm here. I hate the UK's archaic, disgusting ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
