UK Parliament: From Sam Carling to Nadia Whittome, Britain's Gen Z MPs get sworn in
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- The UK Parliament welcomed this week an influx of Generation Z lawmakers, a cohort comprising individuals born between approximately 1995 and 2012. Nine of the ten new Gen Z MPs represent the Labour Party, including the first lawmakers born in the 2000s. British lawmakers began to be sworn in on Tuesday (July 9) as parliament convened for the first time since British Prime Minister Keir Starmer won a large majority in last week's election. As per custom, the longest-serving lawmaker Sir Edward Leigh was sworn in to the so-called 'Father of the House,' followed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, members of his newly constituted cabinet and the shadow cabinet. Keir Starmer led Britain's Labour Party to a landslide victory in the 2024 parliamentary election, taking over from the Conservatives after 14 years in opposition and named his new cabinet last week after the July 4 poll.

It’s good to see a new generation of younger MPs sworn into parliament. I hope they represent their generation well and have a long, honest and prosperous career in politics. Good luck to you all!

I love to see that not only do they get the choice to swear or affirm, it would be meaningless for an agnostic like myself to swear on God for example, but also get to choose what holy book to swear on. This is what religious freedom looks like

Being young is fine. Being involved in politics is the red flag

It's nice that they get to choose whether to swear or affirm.
All affirming tells me is these people are atheists and don’t give a rats arse about the actions they take.
How is it they are pissing on tradition and now they let them swear on the Koran a religion about loving a kiddy fiddler
Yes and I counted 7 non religious 3 religious, but one issue still remains is that they still have to swear to the monarchy or king etc.
@@oddity4650 why is that bad it has been like that for years.
@user-wb8kc7kt1w just because something has been going on for years does not mean it is good.
It is not good because non person elected any monach, it is not democratic.

Lloyd Hatton born in 1995 and bold? shocking!
There was a lad in my year at school that started balding at 15, his brother was in sixth form was almost completely bald.
I was bald at 19 mate
I'm 33 now
Balding at 29 is pretty normal
Am I gen Z ? 😂 Are kidding me
Benefit is that he won't age for 20 years now
Thank god the vast majority of the old Brexit cabal have been swept out of parliament
Good to see, certainly what is now needed.
This has made me think through my life , I'm 19 l feel inspired
Be the change you want to see in the world, bud 😊
And I am just abour to turn 23 tomorrow
19 too and yes they've done well for similar to our ages
Oh give over 😂
same, i'm 18 and i see hope
Great milestone as new generation of MPs enter parliament. I hope this will inspire other communities in other countries to trust young people.
My generation, I'm so proud of them. We are the new adults 😊

Most have never had a genuine job prior.
Whittome is the prime example. Straight from uni to parliament. No life experience.
And yet he was elected an MP of his constituency. Apparently job experience isn't the only think people care about when selecting their MP.
It's called democracy. What exactly is your issue with it?
@@crazyrobots6565 "No life experience."
My comment was simple and easy to read, evidently like your IQ.
OK it could be true for them, but it does not mean they can't make good decisions, like they can still learn about the nonsense about having the monarchy, that does not need experience.

You can debate whether the UK should have a monarchy but this is standard to swear loyalty to the highest authority in the state.
Glad that many took Affirm instead of swear religious tendency given the right Wing wave & all seniors doing it. Those who took affirms are people with integrity, they would stand compromised the day they swear with respective religious identities.
I take the opposite view. The country has gone to the dogs since atheism became rife. Atheists stand for nothing, and can’t then offer a defence against insidious ideologies and ideas that are ensnarling our nation.
When matters of importance must be decided by law, there is no one who can so well appeal to truth as the Christian. King Nebuchadnezzar II understood later in his life than though he ruled over the greatest empire of the world it was the God of Israel who is the true King of the Universe.
“My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble”
The only comprised people who will be shown to have a lack of “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change” will be those who refuse to acknowledge that “the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men” - Daniel 4:17
@@Tomf-tz4pdso, according to the Christian holy book, Christians are the best? Definitely a reliable source there.
I mean no… the fact that there are so little religious MPs is what’s fucking up the country. Without religious principles, there is no guidance at all.
Exactly, statistics shoe younger people are less likely to be religious and royalists.
And it shows in this example, since 7 out of 10 of these young mps are non religious.
But if you want to know 1 reason we still have religion and the monarchy infecting ths systems, it could be because most of ths mps are religious about 300 + of them, 200+ are not
Aww the last lad was so nervous.
Hopefully that adds some balance on the age side of things in Parliament 😅

They dont even know how to wipe their own A RSES!!
Did they serious put "born between 1995 and 2012" in the description? Are you telling me a 12 year old was elected to be an MP?
I think they just mean the Gen Z time period, because it spans from 1995-2012.
For reference, the youngest member of the Sidemen is 29
Take no shit, and serve us well!
"King George's Bible" man alive this is the intelligence of the people running the country 😂
What a disgrace.
Minimum 35 age requirement.
More successful than I am. I'm 28.
Who defines "successful"? It's personally subjective. You should never compare. We are tiny, nothing humans with no meaning. We're all successful in contributing to the Earth's evolutionary processes.... Nothing else.
A fair bit of them come from wealth so don’t take it too hard.
@theotherone8036 Goo points. I only compare myself to who I was yesterday. Comparing yourself to others is pointless and leads nowhere good, hence stories about social media causing depression etc.
Compared to a lot of people, I don't have much. I work a minimum wage job, and I can't afford carpet, but I was once homeless, so for myself, I'm on top of the moon right now.
Don't beat yourself up. They didn't get voted in because they were particularly gifted or had special qualifications. They got in because they had a particular party name beside theirs, and their constituents put the cross beside it.
28 year olds are in this videob
Why do Gen Z looks older than Millennials?
Not true
Oldest Gen Z are 28 years old. Also serious/politician outfits with no makeup make them look old.
Too much late night gaming and stupid TikTok challenges
Because the world is ending
You clearly don't have a clue what you're on about @@jeromefitzroy
Great to see so many new younger MP's, no doubt with some new great ideas and points of view. However, this swearing to the king business... bit of a paradox ! The elected swearing an allegiance to an unelected person. An Mp's allegiance is surely and most importantly to the electorate first, n'est pas?
Surprised they didn’t ask to just do it online
Yes I did think why did they not just do that, it would of been quicker instead of waiting in a queue for hours like some medieval bs
Amen
Irony is 7 out of 3 are non religious unfortunately for you
There should an age restriction in parliament. Anyone over 55 shouldn't be allowed to serve.
No not age as that is ageist but there should be a cognitive test, I mean look ar trump and biden, I think Trump is 78 and biden 81, yet biden is demented, Trump don't seem to be.
Also they should ban religious people and royalist people to be mps though, as let's me honest, they are not the smartest type of human.

'Do you swear or affirm'? Would someone please tell me the difference? I'm not from the UK.
affirm is where they swear ther alliegience to the king without using the bible, its basically taking an oath to do your job as elected for non religious folk.
Swearing on a religious text if they’re religious, affirming if they aren’t.
@@richardcowell9040 Alright, I heard about that but still wasn't sure. Ty.
I’m pretty sure you can affirm with the Bible because the DUP leader did it.
Because in the Christian religion swearing can be viewed as a sin

He's been accused on twitter of outing a guy and sharing nudes
Who? Sam Carling?
Good for Sammy, a high income and fancy work environment assured.
Did his head fit in the room ?
No
😂
Don't mock him yet he is not religious so that is a good sign, so hus brain cells could be actually working unlike religious nutters
why is the affirmation so monarchial.Swear allegiance to king charles and hsi heirs and successors sounds so game of thrones
That’s what I was thinking. Why am would you swear to allegiance to the king why is not more focused on the people they would be serving instead of the monarchy who’ve done nothing to be where they are. The people swearing in have at least worked their way into parliament instead of being born into the royal family.
Both swearing and affirming are all to the Monarch, it's sad that the system is built on top of a bloodline of freaks.
The Uk government is built upon centuries of slowly sapping the monarchs power and giving it to parliament. Ceremonies like this are what's left.
I notice they cut out video of the muslims in the line swearing on the koran…
2:23 blonde lol
Why swear or affirm to the king instead of the people?
A mixture of ego (on the part of the Royals) & convention, though I'd suggest more the convention of not lying in parliament, politicians swearing allegiance to the people would be amongst one of the bigger mistruths spoken there.
King = people

Swearing on His Majesty and not a mention of the people who elect them!! 🤔🤔
Something Doesn't sound right to me
Parliament is owned by the king and laws go to him for approval they swear to him and serve the people
Its really a formality born of tradition, it is not accurate of today's real role and context of the UK PArliament. But I agree the oaths should be changed and updated to make more sense
Maybe learn more about your own political system. The people aren't the sovereign of your country, the King is.

The ones born in 1995 are millennials not Gen Z
Technically there’s no universally agreeable starting age range, only a transitional continuum.
@@AluminumOxide true, but Gen Z is supposed to start when the oldest millennials could have kids. If Gen Z starts in 1995, then the oldest millennials are apparently having kids at 12-14, assuming the oldest are born in 1980-82.
They swear to the king and god, not the people or the constitution. Real democracy.
We dont have a constitution.

What is the difference and reason to affirm or swear?
An solemn affirmation has the same legal effect as an oath, but drops the reference to God - this is important for people who aren't religious or whosee religions oppose the taking of oaths
Theses guys need to remember their oath when making laws.

Affirm:🤓
Good, I am tired of these snowball heads speaking for my generation.
Labour got a huge majority from only 33% of the vote with a low turnout of less than 60%. 😂
No working in a real job in the real world for them then.
Why are most of them not swearing but affirming
Swearing is the religious form, affirming is non religious.
Like in many western countries, the levels of non-religion have been growing, particularly among younger generations.
About 70% of UK adults under 30 are non religious.
Hx
young people swear too much these days
Because they don't believe in anything.
Because in Britain there's no obligation to observe a given religion and it's not enshrined in to the legal fabric of the nation. Swearing is the old 'Christian' ritual of parliament, but the UK is Inclusive of all religions or lack thereof, so to be progressive and fair to MPs who observe differently, A religiously neutral but no less legally binding oath was introduced to accommodate those of a different (or no) faith to respect their individual rights as they form their part of parliament.

The fact that this is such a talking point demonstrates that much of the UK media landscape is dominated by outdated thinking and resistance to progressive ideas.
The UK clings to archaic parliamentary traditions that belong in a museum, not in a modern democracy.
Swearing allegiance to the King? The fact that an unelected royal family still holds significant symbolic power in the 21st century is absurd.
The UK's resistance to change is deeply ingrained in its culture, institutions, and political system. This traditionalism is a major obstacle to addressing modern challenges and often holds the country back from necessary reforms.
It's a nation too often looking backward instead of forward, and it's hurting its ability to adapt economically to a rapidly changing world.
While UK and France constantly wallow in their pasts and delusions of grandeur, both Germany and the USA have found ways to "ignore" or "reinvent" aspects of their past to facilitate economic growth and global influence.
Both nations have crafted narratives that allow them to move forward economically while selectively addressing their past.
This approach has allowed both countries to focus on becoming economic powerhouses without being constantly hamstrung by historical guilt or reparations.

I wouldn't use the USA as an example when they're considering electing Trump for another four years.
