Poll: Should Sinn Féin take their seats in Westminster?

Should they take the oath?

SINN FÉIN TOOK seven seats in this week’s UK election, but won’t take their seats due to their abstentionist policy.

That policy protests British rule in the North as well as the requirement that MPs take an oath to the Queen.

But with the DUP now kingmakers in the UK, that policy has seen Sinn Féin accused of not representing their electorate.

Do you agree?

We’re asking: Should Sinn Féin take their seats in Westminster?


Poll Results:

Yes (16192)
No (7437)
Only if they could have a role in government (2822)
I don't know (1353)
