    Technically the government could vote to become a republic if there was any interest in doing so but there isn’t.

    But there is.

      Sorry yes I should have been clearer there, I mean there’s no wish to from the two major political parties.

      And that is where this video hits the nail on the head, in a more progressive system views such as this might gain some traction, but as it stands British people can only really choose between what the Tories want and what Labour want. If what you want doesn’t align with either, then do you really have a voice?

        Just wait. The Queen’s death has left a major dent in the monarchy’s charme.

          It did, and hopefully we’ll soon see the day that Prince Andrew stands trial.

          But on the topic of the OP I don’t think the monarch is a threat to British democracy. If he actually tried interfering that 40% would skyrocket very quickly, he’s not stupid. He knows keeping quiet is how he keeps milking money.
