A Royal Referendum - How would you vote?

337 replies

I know that this wouldn't be how it would work, but please humour me Smile

If there was a referendum where the options were to either keep the Royal Family or get rid (after the Queen dies) how would you vote?

(Ignoring the fact that this isn't how it would work and if Brexit has gone like this, doing a deal with the Royal Family could be just as painful)

I'm genuinely not sure how I'd vote.

Keep. But I suspect I will be in the minority. To me they are a tradition and I love the whole pomp and ceremony stuff

DoraleeRhodes · 19/11/2019 01:44

Keep

Jaguarana · 19/11/2019 01:44

Keep, for the same reasons as Pieceofpurplesky.

Keep them! They provide some interest and light hearted news which I like to read.

Keep here too.

Everycloud12 · 19/11/2019 02:05

Get rid of them (I wouldn't wait until after the queen tbh)

NabooThatsWho · 19/11/2019 02:06

Get rid

BorisJohnsonsModelBus · 19/11/2019 02:09

Rid

twirlywolly · 19/11/2019 02:19

Get rid, prioritising the hangers on

MeanMrMustardSeed · 19/11/2019 02:22

Keep. Before queen dies I’d be keep with bells on. After queen dies I would be more reluctantly keep - I really think it’s the least worse option for us. I would hate to have a president.

Gilead · 19/11/2019 02:23

Get rid. ASAP.

ChookieYorksBrokenSweatGlands · 19/11/2019 02:51

Get rid

Cucuclown99999 · 19/11/2019 02:53

Keep.

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/11/2019 02:54

Off with their heads.

JPharm · 19/11/2019 02:55

Get rid. I’ve always been a republican though, this isn’t in light of recent events.

Walnutwhipster · 19/11/2019 02:56

I think the result might be very different if taken now compared with a few years after the death of the Queen.

helacells · 19/11/2019 02:57

Get rid!!!

HirplesWithHaggis · 19/11/2019 02:57

Ditch. And nationalise Crown estates etc.

IAcceptCookies · 19/11/2019 03:05

Ditch. With immediate effect.

The monarchy is a ridiculous and anachronistic institution.

BorisJohnsonsModelBus · 19/11/2019 03:16

Can we get rid of Andrew first, though?

MbwaKali · 19/11/2019 06:26

Had this discussion at work one day. Get rid asap.

zen1 · 19/11/2019 06:29

Ditch after the Queen. You should have put this in AIBU, OP, with the voting option!

Sirzy · 19/11/2019 06:38

Keep

Smellbellina · 19/11/2019 06:39

Keep

ArtisanPopcorn · 19/11/2019 06:40

Get rid
