“A republic, if anything, is a recognition of the wonderful courage, resourcefulness, brilliance and creativity of all of us.” Abolish The Monarchy
Abolish the Monarchy. Why We Should and How We Will
Abolish the Monarchy was published in June 2023, just two months after the coronation.
They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, to be a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there’s an elephant in the room.
At the heart of power is a single family. They weren’t elected but they live off the public purse. They aren’t accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution – but we’re also told he wouldn’t dream of interfering in politics.
If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don’t have to accept it. True democracy is within our reach.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly recommended
“I read this book with an open mind and the author’s argument to do as the title suggests is very strong. I’d like to see if someone could write an equally comprehensive case for keeping the monarchy, I doubt it’s possible.” (Amazon review).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Riveting and persuasive – a powerful expose of monarchy.
“With this book, Graham Smith establishes himself not just as the CEO of the British Republican Movement but also a leading UK spokesperson in the movement to abolish the British monarchy. Smith’s “Abolish the Monarchy: Why We Should and How We Will” is not only a statement of purpose but also a detailed narrative of intent.” (Amazon review).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic
“Excellent book. Extremely interesting and educational. I sincerely hope this book becomes widely read.” (Amazon review).
