MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT MUST SWEAR AN OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO QUEEN

It is being reported that Jeremy Corbyn has still not decided on whether or not to kneel before the Queen to become a Privy Counsellor.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he has not yet made up his mind whether he will kneel in front of the Queen when he takes part in the ceremony that will make him a privy counsellor. Giving what he described as an “honest answer” to ITV News, Corbyn said he had yet to receive a formal invitation to the ceremony.

But to become an MP, Corbyn has already swore allegiance to the Queen. Here is the oath that Members of Parliament must (it says but not why) swear before they become an MP:

I (name of Member) 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.

If he has already swore an oath then there is nothing more in kneeling before her to become a Privy Counsellor.

Richard Burgon MP protested at swearing this oath to the Queen in order to represent his constituents as their elected representative, and was demonised in the newspapers because of it. Corbyn was not in the news over this so we can assume that Corbyn swore the oath without any protest.

Because Corbyn has already swore that oath to become MP I think Corbyn should become a Privy Counsellor because:
1. his opinions can then be heard first hand by the Queen and the rest of the sycophants;
2. he can get to see first hand how policies are formed, and then act accordingly.
