@ScotNational @OurRepublicScot I'd abolish you, ya interloper, and send you on the first plane back to Trudeau, where you can spend time adoring each other's myopic misanthropy. Except incoming 🇨🇦 PM, Pierre Poilievre, will deem you persona non grata. Next move ✈️➡️🇨🇺🇳🇮🇻🇪🇧🇾🇷🇺🇵🇸 or whatever, just . . GO!

Charles could cover the entire costs of delivering that estimated cost of Trussell Trust food parcels for the entirety of Scotland for a year with just 1% of his wealth. But he won’t, because he doesn’t truly care. The Emperor is wearing no clothes. thenational.scot/politics/24864…

It's unsurprising that officials working for the Monarchy, who see themselves as above the law, will simply make up rules to protect them. They can't hide from public scrutiny forever It's long past time to abolish their remaining exemptions to our laws theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…

The leadership of both the SNP and Scottish Labour has lagged behind public opinion on the Monarchy for years. The responsibility now lies with their membership to deliver change, as the first party to shift could reap the rewards of popular policy. thenational.scot/news/24811080.…

The continued existence of the House of Lords in its current form is an embarrassment to all in the United Kingdom. Removing the hereditary peers is a positive step but leaves us with a system built entirely on nepotism. We can & should be going further. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

How many such laws and regulations have they secured exemptions for behind closed doors? We don’t know. Lack of transparency and hypocrisy by the royal household is a running theme in their affairs. Watch - Channel 4 Dispatches thenational.scot/politics/24700…

As if what they rake in from the public purse isn't enough - Charles and his family are also taking from charities and the NHS to fund their lavish lifestyles. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/n…

This endorsement reflects a growing momentum and shared vision for a modern Scotland, free from the inherited powers and privileges of the monarchy, and one where our elected representatives swear their allegiance to the people, not the Monarch.
Scottish Greens@scottishgreens

57% of Scots agree with us that it's time to abolish the monarchy and establish an elected head of state for Scotland. Today our conference voted to reaffirm our position and back the @OurRepublicScot campaign.

Here's the moment Lidia Thorpe shouted after King Charles III delivered his speech in Parliament House just after 2pm. She can be heard saying, "This is not your land. You are not my king. You are not our king". #auspol

The Monarchy has among the most blood-soaked histories behind its wealth and status. It is correct that Charles is confronted with that whilst he continues to enjoy the pomp and extravagance of billionaire and Head of State status created by that history theguardian.com/australia-news…
