Default Commuters suffer while Crowe inflates his ego even further

No Sinn Fein are allowed. They refuse to do so because they believe taking

Isn't it something about refusing to take an oath of allegiance?


They focus on that but that's only because it's easier to get public
sympathy for attacking Parliamentary protocol (and there is a long history
of opposition to particular oathes in Ireland) than pretending that by not
taking their seats they are undermining the basis of UK rule.
