Barbados Becomes a Republic

Lodged by Gillian Mackay (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that, on 30 November 2021, Barbados removed Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, and transitioned to a parliamentary republic; recognises that Barbados has become the world’s newest republic after almost 400 years of rule by the British monarchy; believes that this is a moment to address what it sees as imperial exploitation, and that it is part of a wider, international movement towards decolonization, and considers that people of all nations across the world have a democratic right to determine their own systems of governance.
