Rejected petition Hold a referendum to abolish the monarchy and establish a republic

More details

A petition to hold a referendum to abolish the monarchy and establish a republic within Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

We the signatories believe that in times of austerity the Royal Family is a luxury our country cannot afford.

We therefore call for the establishment of a republic with elections for a president to be held.

We the people demand to be citizens not subjects.
