Wrong. Avowed republicans can and do take the oath


Not honestly they can't.


So?

Tony Banks has been mentioned as someone who took the oath with his
fingers crossed, and happily served as an MP afterwards. He was happy to
do it, and the Commons authorities were happy for him to do it. If Sinn
Fein were actually interested in being MPs, they could do it too.
