Replace the crown with a federal, secular Britain
At its meeting on Sunday May 8, the Communist Party of Britain’s executive committee issued the following statement condemning the coronation of Charles III and the British monarchy
In place of a mythical royal sovereignty based on bloodline, the Communist Party proposes popular sovereignty based on the people and their elected representatives in parliaments, governments and mass movements.

THE coronation was designed to maintain public support for an institution that embodies the gross inequalities, privilege and anti-democratic nature of our society.

Recognising that many people enjoy opportunities to gather together in response to appeals based on patriotism, tradition and ceremony, Britain’s ruling class and its mass media have done all in their power to promote this spectacle.

Dissenting voices have been all but silenced. As usual, the one daily paper — the Morning Star — that did not join in the royalist hysteria has been excluded from all media reviews of the daily press.
