46 million for a memorial
Or 46 million invested in the future

What would you choose?

£46 million

That’s how much taxpayers could be asked to spend on a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II

Not a hospital
Not affordable housing
Not youth services

A memorial

Britain deserves an honest conservation about where public money goes.

And whether an unelected institution should continue receive special treatment while everyone else is told to tighten their belts.

The question is simple:
Do we continue to feed a greed of an outdated institution, or do we build a republic fit for the 21st century?

Britain faces a choice

Do we continue funding a monarchy with 23 palaces and residences worth nearly 2 billion, or do we start a conversation about a Modern democracy should look like?

A democracy should be built on accountability, equality and public consent.

No public office should be inherited.

Britain can be patriotic without monarchy. We can celebrate our country, our communities and our democracy without putting one family above everyone else

Republic day is a day about demanding a modern democracy- where the head of state is elected, accountable and chosen by the people, not inherited through birthright.

Labour was founded to challenge entrenched privilege and concentrated power. Republican values- democracy, accountability and equality- should be part of our mission too.
