MOTION TO THE CONFERENCE

Moved by Peter Kellow, member of Republic

Motion reads:

Republic campaigns for the abolition of the constitutional monarchy, in pursuance of the goal of a Modern Republic for Britain.

I move that the Modern Republic model advocated be based on tried and tested, widely recognised, Republican Constitutional Principles, as follows:

  1. There shall be a Separation of Powers between the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary.
  2. The Executive shall be invested in the Office of President which shall be independently democratically elected and shall assume full executive powers.
  3. The Legislature shall be invested in Parliament which alone shall pass laws.

The relationship between the Separate Powers of government shall be subject to a system of Checks and Balances.

This motion is opposed by the Board of Directors.
