Make the oath of allegiance to the King/Monarchy optional for MPs

What the petition asks
We think that republican politicians should have the option of pledging allegiance to their constituents rather than the Crown.
We think that, at the moment, the political system is biased against republicans. In a democratic society, swearing allegiance to a monarchy should be a choice, not compulsory.
