ANTI-MONARCHY campaigners have staged a protest outside the first State Opening of Parliament under the new Labour Government ...
Around 200 republicans gathered opposite Parliament on Wednesday to protest the monarchy, king Charles and his role in the ceremony.
At a time when support for the monarchy is at an all-time low, Republic said the makeup of Parliament represents “a new era for the anti-monarchy movement”.Commenting, CEO of Republic Graham Smith said: “We have just witnessed a huge democratic moment, the election of hundreds of new MPs.“The State Opening of Parliament should be a celebration of our democracy. Instead it is a showcase of the worst, least democratic aspects of our political system.
“I'm delighted that Labour for a Republic joined us today - we know lots of Labour MPs are sympathetic, and we will be working hard to win their active support.” We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
