Shut up and look at my hat 👑 Not My King 🇬🇧 #NotMyKing

The campaign for a republic is about democratic reform, democratic principles and ridding the country of an institution that serves itself and those in power - the few, not the many.

Most people in the UK believe in democratic values and the importance of democracy in creating a prosperous and fair society. These principles and values matter. So our national institutions should reflect and celebrate those values, and live up to the highest standards of openness and accountability.

The monarchy stands firmly against these principles, instead representing exclusion, elitism and hereditary power and privilege at the expense of everyone else. It forces us to compromise our commitment to democracy to make room for this feudal institution. On a point of principle alone the monarchy should be abolished.

There are no good reasons for keeping the monarchy. For example, there is NO EVIDENCE to support the frequent claims that monarchy delivers stability or economic benefits. Yet the monarchy fails us in so many ways. Not least, it is a corrupt institution. The royals spend public money - your money - on their own travel, palatial homes and luxurious lifestyles every day of the year. The institution costs us at least £345m a year, money that should be spent on public services. www.republic.org.uk
