my lovely life through a lens has added a photo to the pool:
anti monarchy protest near City Hall, London yesterday (3rd June).
Hereditary public office goes against every democratic principle. And because we can't hold the Queen and her family to account at the ballot box, there's nothing to stop them abusing their privilege, misusing their influence or simply wasting our money.
Meanwhile, the monarchy gives vast unchecked power to the government, shutting out the people from major decisions that affect the national interest.
Expensive, unaccountable and a drag on our democratic process, the monarchy is a broken institution. A head of state that's chosen by us could really represent our hopes and aspirations - and stop politicians exceeding their powers..
