Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition either asking for a referendum on the Monarchy or asking for Parliament to abolish the Monarchy.

Background
Parliament should abolish the monarchy as it undermines democratic principles by being an unelected institution, conflicting with modern values of meritocracy. The monarchy is costly, diverting taxpayer funds that could support public services. Increasing public sentiment, particularly among younger people, favors a republic that promotes accountability and inclusivity, better reflecting the diversity of the UK. Transitioning to a republic would align governance with current societal values.
