  • I agree with him. An MP should not be subordinate to the monarch. An MP is democratically elected to represent the people. A monarch is an accident of birth propping up a corrupt aristocracy. Well done Dennis.

  • The point is you have every right to disagree with politicians who are not monarchists,do not vote for them but in the democratically elected parliaments a democratically elected MP cannot take their seat if they do not swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch and her heirs and successors how is that democratic,the voters have already given the person a mandate to serve.Gerry Adams was elected because people voted for him that is democracy you may not like it but we live by one person one vote

  • From Canada I say, God Save the Queen!

  • Send Comerade Skinner back to the USSR where he belongs.

  • @forsythbill1 Bravo!

  • Shouldn't have even read it. Like a royal oath would stop someone from becoming an MP, it would be charles the first all over again.

  • It's less to the monarch, it's an oath of allegiance to the state. The monarch is just the state 'personified' if you will. Technically, isn't being a republican treasonous anyway, according to the oath he's sworn? Off wiv 'is 'ed!

  • @smith34n - why on earth would you want the UK to become like America?? I am American, and having a politician as head of state in the UK is FOLLY.

  • The Royal Family financially PROFIT this country and are responsible for hundreds of people being employed, not to mention the trickle down economics they create.....

    Dennis Skinner, is an ignorant, lazy old Socialist Dinosaur.....

  • Good for him. God Fuck the Queen YAY :)

  • @smith34n Well i do agree wholeheartedly on your Adams remark. Not sure about the latter!
