From Green Party Co-Chair to Monarchy Advocate: Jordan Eves on Heritage, Christian Values, and a Call for Reconciliation

Jordan Eves, now a commentator for NationalMedia.uk, has undergone a political journey that reflects both deep-seated convictions and an openness to reconsider long-held positions. Once co-chairman of the Green Party’s Rochdale branch, Eves helped steer local Green activism. Today, however, he finds common cause with defenders of Britain’s constitutional monarchy—and he has a strong message for critics like Tommy Robinson, who claim the King is somehow inimical to Christianity.

Jordan Eves and the Green Party in Rochdale

• Co-Chairmanship and the Party's Republican Leanings
– During his tenure as co-chairman, Eves oversaw a local Green Party membership that skewed toward republicanism and advocated for the eventual dissolution of the monarchy, whilst directing environmentalist initiatives.
– On issues such as economic justice, environmental protection, and community empowerment, Eves remained an active, if sometimes neutral, voice on internal policy debates.

• Moving Beyond Party Lines
– Over time, several Green Party stances struck Eves as too rigid or in tension with his broader sense of British identity and heritage.
– He formally left the party upon realising he could no longer signify support for positions that conflicted with his convictions—most notably the automatic assumption that the monarchy is anachronistic.


Tommy Robinson’s Inadvertent Claim: “The King Is Bad for Christianity”

Recently, Tommy Robinson asserted that the new King of the United Kingdom, "admires Sharia law", and, "loves Islam", implying that this makes him unfit to be a champion of Christian Britain. 

Eves contests this diagnosis on several grounds:

Constitutional Role and Oath of Allegiance
– The sovereign swears an oath to uphold the Protestant succession and to protect the Church of England. This is not a mere formality—it underpins the monarchy’s role as both a political and spiritual symbol.
Faith, Tolerance, and Commonwealth Leadership
– The King has consistently affirmed respect for all major faiths in the UK. Far from promoting Islamic law over Christian teaching, he has fostered interfaith dialogue and has used his platform to encourage compassion toward minority religions and communities.
Christianity in Modern Britain
– The health of Christianity in Britain depends not solely on institutional figures but on grassroots congregations and social engagement. A monarch who models tolerance can strengthen Christian witness by embodying charity, forgiveness, and unity.


Jordan Eves on Transvestitism and Social Values

One controversial thread in Eves’s current public commentary centres on what he calls, “transvestitism”, a term he uses to describe the practice of men dressing in traditionally women’s clothing. While his phrasing and focus may have drawn criticism from LGBT advocates, Eves frames his concern as part of a broader defense of what he sees as clear distinctions in gender roles. He argues that his opposition is a free-speech stance, though he acknowledges it can cause real pain for transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. Eves has stated that he remains open to dialogue—but will not himself adopt or champion those practices, of which he is certain that Tommy Robinson also does not appreciate a void that has been filled by queer practices.

A Call for Heritage and Reconciliation

Despite deep disagreements on some social issues, Jordan Eves urges figures like Tommy Robinson—and all who question the monarchy’s relevance—to remember these points:

• Symbolic Unity: The monarchy serves as a unifying institution above the fractious world of party politics.
• Legacy of Service: Many monarchs have combined personal faith with public service, supporting Christian charities, safeguarding religious freedom, and promoting education.
• Commitment to Peace: By addressing domestic and international challenges through diplomacy and reconciliation, the King embodies virtues Christians hold dear.


Conclusion

Jordan Eves’s passage from Green Party co-chair to thoughtful monarchy advocate underscores a larger truth: personal ideology need not freeze into immovable dogma. While he continues to voice strong reservations on issues like, “transvestitism”, Eves invites skeptics across the political spectrum to view the King not as a threat to Christianity, but as a potential champion of faith-inspired service, peacebuilding, and national unity. In doing so, he reminds us that heritage and reconciliation can go hand in hand—and that civil discourse remains Britain’s best path forward.
