Another reason JC for Labour leader might be a very interesting thing.
This is from some correspondence i received earlier in the year.
"I am equally concerned about Prince Charles and his overzealousness when it comes to political matters. This does not bode well for the future, when he might be King. I signed Early Day Motion 608, His Royal Highness Prince Charles’ Letters to Ministers, in protest.
The Guardian applied for access to letters sent by Prince Charles in 2004-5 and it is ridiculous that they have not yet been released. This Freedom of Information request has been met by the full-force of the government, who are eager for these letters not to be released.
It is the 21st Century and an unelected Head of State (albeit to-be Head of State) should not be exerting influence over the democratic process. The role of members of the Royal Family, unless they wish to abdicate, should be – solely – ceremonial.
Unfortunately, I do not think public opinion is in favour of abolishing the Royal Family and Britain becoming a fully-fledged republic, so at present it is important to fight for reform and fairness when it comes to this institution. I will always be active in issues when there has been an abuse of power and of course against undemocratic institutions in our society.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Corbyn MP
