A thread. 1/11

An elected head of state is accountable, democratic, representative, cost effective. It provides stability, legitimacy, transparency, adaptability, and unity.

Accountability matters. An elected head of state is answerable to the people who voted them in. #accountability #democracy
3/11

Democracy is the bedrock of a free society. An elected head of state reflects the people's will, chosen through a fair and transparent process. #democracy #fairness
4/11

Representation is key. An elected head of state represents a broad range of interests and opinions. The monarchy doesn't. #representation #DiversityandInclusion
5/11

Merit counts. An elected head of state is chosen for their abilities, qualifications, and experience. The monarchy is based on birthright. #meritocracy #birthright
6/11

The cost of the monarchy is high. An elected head of state would be more cost-effective, freeing up funds for more essential services. #costeffectiveness #priorities
7/11

Transparency matters. An elected head of state's actions are subject to public scrutiny. The monarchy is notoriously secretive. #transparency #accountability
8/11

Stability is vital. An elected head of state brings stability, chosen through a stable democratic process. The monarchy can lead to uncertainty and instability. #stability #democracy
9/11

Legitimacy is important. An elected head of state has greater legitimacy as they are chosen by the people. The monarchy has no democratic legitimacy. #legitimacy #democracy
10/11

Modernity counts. An elected head of state reflects modern democratic values, adapting to changing attitudes. The monarchy is an outdated hangover from a medieval world. #modernisation #progress
11/11

National unity matters. An elected head of state can bring people from all classes and backgrounds together, representing the diversity of the nation. The monarchy represents only the privileged upper class. #nationalunity #divisiveness
