NOT MY 'KING KING 🇬🇧 Down with the crown 👑 #NotMyKing

Hereditary public office goes against every democratic principle. And because we can’t hold the royal family to account at the ballot box, there’s nothing to stop them :

👑 abusing their privilege (like Prince Andrew)
👑 misusing their influence (Prince Andrew again)
👑 wasting our money (£345m / year from the taxpayer)

Meanwhile, the monarchy gives vast arbitrary power to the government, shutting voters out from major decisions affecting the national interest. The King can only ever act in the interests of the government of the day and does not represent ordinary voters.

The monarchy is a broken institution. A head of state that’s chosen by us could really represent our hopes and aspirations – and help us keep politicians in check.
