Whats the deal with the ppl that don't take their seat in parliament?

Irish Separatists that view British rule over Northern Ireland as illegitimate. They run essentially as a protest. Then if they win seats the refuse to take them declaring Parliament illegitimate (also because apparently their is some sort of loyalty oath to the crown as part of the swearing in ceremony).

Essentially they're basically just protest candidates who happen to win a few seats.
