Agree

Yes, hereditary power is a medieval relic incompatible with modern meritocracy

This framing aligns with the NDP’s egalitarian, democratic ethos and critiques of inherited privilege; NDP figures have periodically argued Canada should have a fully democratic head of state rather than hereditary monarchy.

Agree

Yes

The NDP has often been sympathetic to republican/anti-monarchist sentiment (e.g., periodic caucus/party calls to end royal symbols and the oath), but it has not made abolishing the monarchy a central, sustained platform priority.

Agree

Yes, it is an expensive waste of taxpayer money better spent on social welfare

The NDP’s emphasis on social spending makes the ‘spend it on services’ argument congenial, though the party more often focuses on democratic/colonial symbolism than leading with cost as the primary rationale.

Disagree

No

While the NDP typically accepts the current constitutional framework pragmatically, it has a recurring strain of opposition to the monarchy; outright support for keeping it is not characteristic of the party.

Disagree

No, the monarch is a neutral guardian ensuring stability above party politics

The NDP is generally skeptical of unelected institutions as ‘guardians’ above politics; it tends to prefer democratic accountability over arguments that the Crown’s neutrality is essential for stability.

Disagree

No, the monarchy is the cultural glue that preserves our national history and identity

The NDP is less inclined to treat the monarchy as core to Canadian identity, and many in the party view it as tied to colonial history; it more often emphasizes inclusive civic identity over royal tradition.

Strongly disagree

No, the Royal Family is a global brand granting us outsized diplomatic influence

The NDP is unlikely to endorse a ‘Royal Family brand’ rationale; it typically prioritizes sovereignty, equality, and decolonization over monarchical soft-power arguments.
