I think he should become a member if only to have access to the same information as others in his position. He can then advise his party from an informed point of view. It is after all only a 'form of words' and a traditional gesture to join. Having listened last night to 'Have I got news for you' the kiss allegedly involves brushing the Queen's hand with your nose.

There was another thread about Jeremy Corbyn not having attended a Privy Council meeting, the first one after he was made Labour Leader.
Apparently, he is now saying that he wants to be made a member before a possible vote on Syria.
The Privy Council exists, Corbyn has the right to become a Privy Counsellor - but is he right in his misgivings and should he refuse to join on principle? Or should he join and fight from within?

I know some people would never dream of reading a link from the DM but this is a critical essay about the Privy Council and very interesting:
