🇬🇧 Should the UK abolish monarchy now? 🚫👑

[Mexican Wolf]

As much as I would want the UK (and the rest of the Commonwealth) to abolish the monarchy, I think abolishing so soon after the Queen's death would spark a ton of backlash and bad optics, and possibly become as much as a divisive mess as Brexit was for years after the referendum took place.

I think if the government and republican citizens want to end the monarchy, it's probably better to wait until the whole country's had time to grieve, the queen's funeral has taken place, and Charles has been on the throne for a little while. That way, it doesn't look like they were just waiting on the Queen to go before getting rid of the institution (even though the republican cause has been around for far longer than Elizabeth was Queen). Just my two cents, though.
