What do people think, good or bad?
Not sure I'd be happy swearing allegiance to the queen and I was born and bred here!

Not sure I agree with what they have to do exactly, but I think I agree with the concept, especially the bit about respecting the rights and freedoms here.

Good idea in principle, but that's about it.

In US the kids swear allegiance EVERY DAY to the flag IIUC. Heard one stroppy teenager cursing how a visiting student on school exchange wouldn't do it - "you're in MY country, you should respect MY flag!". Well durr, it's not her country is it, stupid! You don't swear allegiance to every damn country you visit. Luckily the (US but Hungarian background) person I was with looked at me and said, well sieg heil! - she wasn't impressed either.

Immigrant ceremonies are probably a good idea, however they should really be concentrating on cutting numbers and returning failed immigrants first of all.
