Labour for a Republic’s Campaign Guide
Labour for a Republic has published its Campaign Guide which sets out reforms that our Labour government could, and should, take if it wants to
Labour for a Republic seeks a society free from the divisions of rank, titles and class, one in which all citizens are regarded as of equal worth and in which citizens, collectively, are the ultimate authority.
In such a society there is no place for a sovereign monarch: the head of state should be chosen by, and accountable to, all citizens.
Labour for a Republic therefore campaigns to build the broadest possible support across the Labour Party for replacing the monarchy with an elected Head of State.
A hereditary monarchy is incompatible with the values of a democratic socialist party.
The monarchy sustains a society in which titles, rank and class are important,
All citizens must be of equal worth, none should be more important than others because of the circumstances of their birth
We support a serious, informed debate about the kind of country we want to be, and what kind of head of state matches that ambition.
We also support practical reforms that can build democratic standards now, while making the case for an elected head of state stronger and clearer over time.
