Iโ€™m really interested โ€” will you be swearing allegiance to the King? There is no judgement here, but would love your vote in my poll and maybe reply with why or why not?

Coronation: Public invited to swear allegiance to King Charles

The pledge is among several changes to the service, which will incorporate female clergy and other faiths.

I'm not an out-and-out republican (at least, of the US style with an executive HoS who is effectively an absolute monarch) , but the Head of State should be swearing allegiance to the citizens. I do note he will swear to uphold the laws and customs, but then he should stick to that and not just rubber stamp everything that comes his way.

@wihtlore

Just to clarify, I'm not really a royalist either. I'd like to see a more Scandi-style system - the HoS should be apolitical and ceremonial as the representative of the country as a whole. This is why I'd be against an executive president (though I'd be content with non-executive like Ireland or Germany)
