They don’t need to fake a faith to attract votes. And, if they do want t swear to their god they get to choose WHICH book and which god , without it being a big deal.

Surprised he didn't swear on a Starbucks receipt.

[@ArmourGX]

Weird that their oath is to the crown and not to the country. Feel like we should have reworded it after the whole crown execution thing we did..

[@ShreN_]

I thought the whole concept of swearing to the King is because the monarch (the head of state) is meant to represent the will of the people - same with the national anthem.

[@1violalass]

You might note that we brought them back.

[@miguelpadeiro762]

​@ShreN_ It's a bit weird, when you could, as a public official, swear directly to the people instead of a dude whose office is completely unrelated to the will of the people but the will of a blue vagina to pop him into the world

[@UltimatePokeGamer7]

What is the difference between ‘swear’ and ‘affirm’ in parliamentary terms?

[@naedanger123]

In this context, “swear” is a religious declaration, “affirm” is secular.

[@Whoretensia]

Sweet as. The minimum age in Australia is also 18. The world belongs to the young. Glad to see the youth taking on the mantle.

Far from it actually, just urks me that they will be completely detached from reality and have no idea what the real world is like as the start on £90000 a year in a job i would argue requires life experience of which they have minimal

[@jamesvlog2477]

The people who hate these young kids for becoming MPs at a young age are probably jealous torys, who never made any success when they were young. Congratulations to these young people. P.S if your old enough to pay tax and to vote, then your voice in Parliament and thr country matters just as much as anyone else.
