Sacking the Monarch : Why Britain Must Become a Republic (Electronic book text)

British democracy is in a state of crisis: the people and the political class are divided by an Iron Curtain of cynicism, apathy and resentment. A debate about the future of the political system of the country is raging, exposing the sham that is the British constitution. In this concise and sharp analysis, Liam Finn expands the debate to cover the role of the monarchy and its stranglehold on democratic progress. Demonstrating the folly of arguments about tourism, royal finances and patriotism and advocating an alternative which inspires aspiration and hope whilst honouring the history and traditions of these islands, Finn puts forward a strong case for the abolition of the monarchy and the instalment of an elected head of state.
