Allow A Public Vote on Republicanism and the Future of the Monarchy
We the undersigned petition the government to allow the people of Great Britain to vote on the future of the monarchy. There is a growing feeling among the populace that a British Republic would be preferable for both financial, political and social reasons.
Monarchy represents an archaic remnant of a feudal system of government that is little more than an unneeded expense in the modern day. Monarchy is also incompatible with a true democratic system as it allows the potential for the desires of the people to be overruled and for new legislation to be passed without a vote.
A British Republic would bring Britain in line with modern times, save untold millions of taxpayer money and reduce class divides in society.
We want the ability to decide whether we wish to be a Republic.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
