Our Monarchy & National Identity

Pride in Our Past, Unity for Our Future

A photograph captures a diverse crowd of United Kingdom citizens standing united in front of the iconic Big Ben and Houses of Parliament. The Union Jack flag waves prominently in the background, symbolising national pride. Individuals of varying ages, ethnicities, and attire—some in traditional dress, others in modern clothing—stand together with solemn expressions, representing a unified and inclusive vision of British identity rooted in history, democracy, and shared values.

Britain's identity is shaped by centuries of democratic evolution, historic institutions, and shared values across its diverse nations. We stand for the preservation of our constitutional monarchy, respect for all UK citizens regardless of ethnicity or religion, and the strengthening of national unity. This section outlines our vision for a modern, inclusive, and democratic British identity.

A photograph of the British Royal Family shows them gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during a ceremonial event. Dressed in formal attire, all family members—including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, their children, and other senior royals—face the camera with composed expressions. Ornate columns and velvet banners frame the scene, capturing a dignified and modern image of the monarchy.

Preserving a Modern Monarchy

We support the constitutional monarchy as a unifying, apolitical figurehead. The Royal Family plays an important ceremonial and cultural role, including weekly non-binding advisory meetings with the Prime Minister. We believe their influence should remain traditional and symbolic, with no political power.

A high-resolution photograph captures Buckingham Palace under a partly cloudy sky, with the Union Jack flying prominently above its neoclassical façade. Ornate black-and-gold wrought iron gates and stone pillars frame the grand entrance, while historic lanterns and Corinthian columns highlight the palace's architectural grandeur. A symbol of British monarchy, diplomacy, and national heritage.

The Crown’s Role In Modern Britain

Royal funding will continue under the Sovereign Grant to reflect the monarchy's role in diplomacy, tourism, and heritage, maintaining transparency and public confidence. Calls for abolition or political reform of the monarchy are not supported.

The Role of Parliament in a Modern Democracy

We oppose the introduction of a fully written constitution. Britain’s unwritten constitutional conventions provide necessary flexibility and uphold parliamentary sovereignty. Codifying this framework could introduce unnecessary legal rigidity and obscure centuries of democratic precedent. Where clarification is needed, we support continued evolution of conventions through debate and democratic institutions.

A photograph captures the interior of the House of Commons chamber at the Palace of Westminster during a formal parliamentary session. MPs from diverse backgrounds are seated along the traditional green leather benches, facing each other across the central aisle. The Speaker presides from an ornate chair beneath a historic clock, surrounded by rich wooden paneling and gothic detailing. The scene reflects the heart of Britain’s unwritten constitutional democracy.

A New Upper House

We propose abolishing the unelected House of Lords and replacing it with an elected second chamber based on proportional representation. This would improve democratic accountability and ensure regional representation across the UK. Hereditary peerages and lifetime appointments do not reflect a modern democratic society. Instead, we propose fixed terms, public mandates, and transparency in legislative oversight.

A high-resolution photograph captures a legislative chamber filled with a diverse group of elected officials from various ethnic backgrounds. Seated in semi-circular rows of wooden desks, the legislators actively participate in a vote, many raising their hands. The chamber features arched windows, warm wooden panelling, and a prominent national coat of arms above the Speaker’s chair, symbolising inclusivity and democratic renewal.

A photograph captures a diverse group of twelve British citizens standing together in a green outdoor setting, united under a prominently displayed Union Jack flag. The group includes men, women, and children of different ethnicities and ages, all smiling and casually dressed, symbolising inclusive civic identity and national unity across the UK’s nations and cultures.

Strength Through British Unity

We will promote inclusive British identity that celebrates all UK nations. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, while respecting individual multicultural traditions. Shared symbols like the Union Jack and collective civic values will be upheld. Britishness must be civic, not ethnic. Regardless of race, religion, or background, if you are a British citizen, you belong. We support nationwide education on UK history, the expansion of national holidays, and the use of British symbols for unity rather than division.

A high-resolution photograph taken around midday on a clear, partly cloudy day shows four national flags of the United Kingdom flying proudly on separate silver flagpoles. From left to right: the Ulster Banner of Northern Ireland, the Saltire of Scotland, the St. George’s Cross of England, and the Red Dragon of Wales. The flags wave vibrantly against a bright blue sky, representing unity and equal national identity across the UK.

Power to the Regions

We support the creation of elected English regional assemblies to ensure fair representation outside Westminster. Power must be balanced across the North, Midlands, and South to address economic and social disparities. We do not support further centralisation nor complete federalisation.

Symbols of Unity & Pride

The national anthem, Union Jack, and royal imagery are integral to our heritage. As are those of the individual countries that make up Great Britain. These should be preserved and respected, not reinterpreted for political purposes. While we acknowledge Britain’s complex history, our traditions must be used to unite rather than divide.

A high-resolution digital illustration displays four national symbols of the United Kingdom: the crowned golden lion of England with red roses, the purple thistle of Scotland, the red dragon of Wales, and the Red Hand of Ulster beneath a crown representing Northern Ireland. Each emblem is rendered with crisp detail and vibrant colours, arranged evenly against a clean white background to symbolise unity and heritage.
