Have MP's swear allegiance to the PEOPLE not the Monarchy!

Petition Details

Take Magna Carta to the next level, prove also that we know longer live under 'The Divine Right Of Kings' - protect the people from the Monarchy. It is ludicrous that serving politicians elected by the people have to swear allegiance to the Crown before taking up office. Is this 2015 or 1615?

Additional Information

Under the Parliamentary Oaths Act 1866, members of both Houses of Parliament are required to take an Oath of Allegiance [ to the Monarchy & any successors ] upon taking their seat in Parliament, after a general election, or by-election, and after the death of the monarch. Until the oath or affirmation is taken, an MP may not receive a salary, take their seat, speak in debates or vote.

Should elected representatives of the people not be swearing allegiance to those they represent - the People?
