This pamphlet is for anyone alarmed by the present British government.
It argues that the component nations of the United Kingdom can become true democracies only by declaring themselves republics.
The authors are Alasdair Gray, writer of fiction and pamphlets such as Why Scots Should Rule Scotland, and Adam Tomkins, Professor of Public Law in the University of Glasgow and author of Public Law and Our Republican Constitution.
Both are committed republicans.
