About Republic

Republic is a grassroots campaign group calling for the abolition of monarchy and an end to all hereditary positions of power.

Our mission is quite simple:

• to mount a successful campaign to persuade a majority of voters to support the replacement of our hereditary monarchy with an elected head of state.
• having done so, to participate in and try to guide the process of change.
• to promote democratic republican forms of government, and to facilitate a debate on the best model for a future republic.

We believe the best alternative is an elected head of state, a position that would have little power.

We are not a political party, but instead seek to influence the views and policies of the parties and the people.

We envisage the elected head of state would be limited to performing ceremonial duties, and any powers the post holds would be enshrined in a written constitution.

The Campaign for an Elected Head of State is a member organisation. If you agree that hereditary power is wrong, and that a democratic head of state is right, then join and support the campaign.

Republic has grown steadily in size and profile since its formation in 1983, when talk of replacing Britain's monarchy with a democratically elected Head of State was a virtually taboo subject. Mature debate on this subject is now normal, and this is due partly to the efforts of Republic and its supporters. We have consistently been putting forward a reasoned and informed argument.

Republic is a member organisation that needs active supporters and funds to keep going.

If you support the idea of an elected head of state then we urge you to support the cause. Visit the Join page, make a donation and see the Action Page to find out how you can help make a difference.
