Yes Prime Minister


I see Spain has a new Prime Minister. Pedro Sanchez was sworn in last week, and for the first time in that country's history, the ceremony was performed without a Bible or Crucifix in sight, Mr Sanchez is openly atheistic and took his oath without those particular props. Let's face it the previous Spanish Prime Minister used both of them and turned out to be involved in a massive corruption scandal! 

So much for making oaths on ancient books and Roman instruments of torture, good people tend to do good things and bad people tend to do bad things, time will tell which camp Sanchez falls into but in terms of morality, religious affiliation or lack of would seem unlikely to prove material.
