NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The tradition of swearing allegiance to the monarch is a long-standing one in the UK Parliament, with newly elected MPs required to take an oath of loyalty before they can take their seat and participate in parliamentary business. This oath is typically taken with the utmost seriousness, as it symbolises an MP's commitment to upholding the constitution and serving the country. The gesture of crossing fingers is often associated with a desire to negate or undermine the significance of a promise or oath, which may raise questions about the MP's intentions.
