A vocal minority are anti anything you like. But I think Australia said it best when they last looked at dropping the monarchy. The argument that won was "yes, but the alternative is someone who actually wants to be a president...."

The monarchy is a constitutional one, so "getting rid" happened when Charles I was beheaded. When his son was eventually put back on the throne, it was quite clear that parliament was in charge.

We don't have a monarchy to get rid of. We have a titular head of state. She has no power, and when Prince Charles's letters to ministers stating his views became public there was an outcry because they shouldn't interfere.

That said, if a party on a republican ticket came to power offering a republican referendum, it would happen and we could end up with a republic. Unlikely, but being a democracy, the ultimate will of the people happens.

Polls suggest a majority of people in The USA want guns banning. If that is difficult, ask yourselves how can call yourselves a democracy, let alone a safe place to live.
