The Canadian parliament broke into God Save the King after MPs voted against removing the oath of allegiance.
The Government and most of the Liberal and Conservative MPs joined forces to vote down the private member’s bill, which was supported by the Left-wing NDP and nationalist Bloc Québécois parties.
MPs voted to keep Section 128, which requires that new parliamentarians must swear to be “faithful and bear true allegiance” to the reigning monarch, by 113 votes to 197.
