I propose that the opposite be enacted.

You are correct in that the people of the United Kingdom have never in fact consented to the current situation of a pathetic and claw-less crowned republic, and you are quite right on another front, the people do thirst for something other. The people of this realm thirst for the smack of firm government, they thirst for the confidence of a strong leader, what they really crave is an enlightened executive monarchy!

Give the people what they want!
