Rejected petition Deliver a uk referendum to decide on the future of the Royal Family

Rejected on 21 February 2022

A modern democracy should not need an unelected component in its constitution. The behaviour of seniors royals has brought shame and embarrassment to the UK and their wealth and privilege is out of sync with the majority of the population.

Similarly to some commonwealth countries, the UK should be offered a referendum to determine whether the monarchy should be abolished. The abolishment would see the cancellation of the next concession to the throne and UK funds and assets returned to the state.
