Rejected petition Vote to abolish the UK monarchy & change to a true & secular democratic republic

MPs should properly debate about the monarchy, the alternate types of government available & changing flag designs, symbols, names etc. Facts should given out to the public. When ready, have a referendum on changing to a true & secular democratic republic, with an elected ceremonial head of state.

More details

Citizens should vote on the future of the type of government they want to have. It's time we became a true & secular democratic republic. It's long overdue. Modernise & improve the system, reduce corruption, more diversity, naming things & places that are related to the people & areas, have a more progressive government etc. MPs should also debate about staying with a parliamentary system or change to a federal system or have have a mixed system or other alternative types of government systems.
