"Republican Party Reptile" is a song by Scottish rock band Big Country, released by Vertigo in 1991 as an extended play from their fifth studio album No Place Like Home.

[5] Upon its release, Steve Stewart of the Aberdeen Press and Journal commented, "Gone are the wimpy keyboard overlays of the Peace in Our Time phase, and back are the grating guitars of The Crossing and Steeltown.

"[6] Steven Wells of NME stated, "I'm never going to play this again but it be a very ZZ Top-esque and sardonic number about wanting to make touchyfeelylickylicky with a Tory.

"[7] Ian Gittins of Melody Maker wrote, "In which the caber-tossing, girder monsters attempt their 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' and rail against all things right-wing.

"[8] In a review of No Place Like Home, Tom Demalon of AllMusic noted that the song "sounds like the band had picked up a few tricks from one-time support act the Cult".
