Call for an elected head of state

We are being asked whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should be eighth in line to the throne. That is the wrong question.

The real issue is simple: why do we have a monarchy at all in a modern democracy?

No one should be born to rule. No one should inherit political authority. And public services belong to us, and not to a king.

In this video, I explain why monarchy contradicts equality, distorts politics, and blocks constitutional reform, and why a politics of care demands an elected head of state, a written constitution, and real democratic accountability.

This is not about individuals. It is about institutions.
