- The Republic campaign supporters nailed a voting station sign to the Buckingham Palace railings.
- They are calling for a public vote on the future of the monarchy.
- The group is planning stunts and protests over the coming weeks.
The first of several anti-coronation protests began when two Republic campaign supporters nailed a voting station sign to the Buckingham Palace railings.
As part of the campaign’s demand for a public vote on the survival of the monarchy, the two activists affixed the 2-metre sign proclaiming Buckingham Palace a polling station on the gates this morning around 8am.
Graham Smith spoke on behalf of the Republic and said: “We want to drive home the need for a vote on the future of the monarchy. We should be able to decide, do we want Charles or a choice?”
“Within a few days thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a public vote on the monarchy. We’re expecting tens of thousands more to add their name to the demand over coming weeks.”
“We’re calling on people to put up their own polling station signs around the country at 6pm every Tuesday. It’s time to drive home this message, that the people deserve a vote.”
“Republic is planning stunts and protests over the coming weeks and will be staging a large demonstration at the coronation in may.”
