I see Keith Ellsion has won his Primary, looks like America is gonna have their first Muslim senator - one nation under Allah!! discuss

Although fair fucks to the Americans at least that is a democracy, in the UK, it claims it's a democracy yet a Catholic cannot be Prime Minister..

Yeah Kmarion - they talk about the UK being the oldest democracy in the world - but they only gave the uppity Catholics the right to vote a few decades ago imagine that..

Uh, link Calibre?  I find it hard to believe that a whole chunk of England couldn't vote until 30 years ago.

Although, I have found this.

Hardly a couple of decades ago....nearly a couple of centuries! And there's nothing stopping a catholic becoming Primeminister, its just that the majority of the UK is Church of England. Its just the same as in any other democracy, the nations religion will always be preferred to on a candidate for the role.

And Im pretty sure everyone talks about Greece being the oldest democracy in the world, England has always had a King or two that had full control.....and Oliver Cromwell.

UHMMMMMMMM Did you not read the part about The Prime Minister usually advises the Sovereign on appointment of Bishops in the Church and the part The act also makes it illegal for a Catholic to directly or indirectly advise the British Sovereign on appointments in the Church of England that usually means that no they cant run for prime minister.

If people would only read than so much flaming could be saved.

It doesn't mean one cant be you idiot, where does it say that its illegal. Itd just be that he couldnt advise on Bishops and crap like that. Ive just got a B in my A-Level politics and Im Catholic, so maybe I should know some of this.

Tawodeusti its from 1829! Nowhere in this does it say at all that being Catholic and becoming Primeminister is illegal! I think you need to read it again, I hate it when people dont!

Don't post then. Sometimes I just have to wonder why people even bother breathing.

Anyways, I'm glad Ellsion won. I have no idea what his platform is, but I'm just glad anybody can still try these days.

Stop the clock - what the fuck do you think the civil rights riots were about in N.Ireland in 1969? which were the percussor to the entire troubles in the region for the next 30 years?  a Catholic could  (not to many Catholics owned business in N.Ireland then) vote if they owned a business and only then, mr im a Catholic and I should know about this as i've a b in A level politics? away back to your books, & as it Stands a Catholic cannot be Prime minister in England..

Whats that got to do with what I just said? All I was saying was that there's nothing stopping a Catholic from becoming Primeminister! You, being Irish, always have to take things back to when you were 'persecuted'! You've got the most freedom you've ever had and you still throw it in eachothers faces with the Orange marches and the Real IRA! (I just thought Id take this in a completely different direction because you did)!!

As far as i'm aware the The Catholic Reform Act 1829  has never been repealed - so a Catholic cannot be Prime Minister - the end, do you want some salt and pepper for your foot?

But there's nothing in that act that states 'it is against UK law to allow a catholic to become prime minister'. All it states is that if a catholic was to become PM, then they wouldnt be allowed to advise the queen on who was to become COE Bishops/arch bishops. So unfortunately for a catholic PM he/she wouldnt be allowed to help one of the crappiest, least confounded religions on the planet, with only Scientology behind it as the most stupid!

God Dammit buLLet_t00th the only way we're going to be able to sort this out is by you entering politics and trying to become Prime Minister, you're the best qualified man for the job - Catholic and a B in Politics!! Labour in Disarray and Conservatives still leave a bitter taste in the mouth, you would never get a better opportunity!!

Again, theres nothin in the statute books that says the PM HAS to advise on them. Anyway its just ceremonial these days as the Church really decides who it has as Bishop...they then tell the PM....who then tells the royal house. So theres nothing official. It would help if the UK constitutuion was written, then we'd definetly know, but because our 'chosen' are pretty stupid thats not possible!
