you have a point BUT, it you look at the video of the event and not a cropped picture, then you will see italians refused to stand, dutch refused to stand and the brexit party stood when asked. IF just one party was making a point then your point would be correct, but it is multiple eu meps from multiple european countries and multiple parties. When that's happening, the eu should be saying, we are doing something wrong here, but they never do
i think you'll find all MP's who take their seat in the commons have to swear the oath of allegiance, so less of the "from memory" "so if" and"can't find" i thank you.
According to the mirror you may be right, or at least close https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....jeremy-corbyn-didnt-sing-national-6466487.amp
He has a problem as a republican, no not a bomber himself, those are his bezzies he refuses to swear allegiance to the queen saying it's his belief but has no problem when he is in her majesties opposition or seeking to be her majesties government He has no problem bending over backwards for terrorists but refuses to acknowledge the queen and monarchy and refuses to sing the national anthem. As a private citizen he has every right, as someone who wants to lead the government of the country, a country he doesn't even like, then everyone has a right to ask why not A bit of national anthem jeremy to show british pride as prime minister of the uk? not blinking likely
I never mentioned the privy council. Putting him in charge of the uk would be like him being the isreali parliament, he seems to be no fan of either
i dont think she is an outright republican, in holyrood i dont think you dont need to swear an oath to the queen. pretty sure several didnt
In Westminster you do. Sinn Fein won’t, so don’t take their seats. They do take their seats in the Northern Irish Assembly though, so presumably they aren’t required to do so for that?
To be honest I was being a git and hoping you’d read far enough to see this bit ‘But there is more to it than that. Ms Sturgeon is nothing if not a pragmatist and knows that the Monarchy is still a popular institution in Scotland.’
