Open petition: Hold a referendum on the abolition of the British Monarchy

Created by mark weeks
Closes on

We believe that the monarchy, in its current form, is an archaic and cynical institution, deeply entrenched in the fabric of the UK, yet seemingly more focused on preserving its wealth and position rather than representing the values of modern society.

We feel a national dialogue about the monarchy's place in our society is long overdue. According to a recent survey by YouGov, a significant percentage of the population under 50 now favours abolishing the monarchy.

We believe a national, binding referendum on the monarchy's constitutional role is the clearest and most democratic route to address this issue. A referendum could allow the British people to express their will, providing a mandate for transformation.
