    Lego ordinance says someone who is elected is automatically a member unless he refuses within 7 days and the only way he ceases to be is by resigning or changing his nationality or if the president decides so based on a few criteria, none if which list not properly taking ones oath. Together with the oath ordinance it is rather unclear whether or not they are actually legislators.


    Luckily attending meetings is not a requirement to get paid or none of the bunch would get any money.

    Legco seriously needs to replace it WHOLE security team with NEPALESE guards so that they can throw out the noise makers as ordered by the legco president. Now that would be really FUN.

    All the serious Nepali guards ended up becoming British.

    Would be ironic if they had to protect the Chinese legco after all that has happened ... just saying.

    Curious - but has there been any precedent of this happening anywhere else in the world where an elected official has deliberately altered their oath?

    I think one of the Scottish MPs removed the word "Queen" from her oath a year or two ago. Had to retake it.

    Now four guards have been injured and the cops have been called. I've always wondered, since lawmakers can't be prevented from entering the meeting and they can't get arrested, how much force are the Legco security guards allowed to use? My guess would be none?
