Oh please try Chuck. Please do. The one incontrovertible way to end the monarchy immediately would be if one of the inbred stands up and tries to exercise any real power.

It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century

I'll settle for a few billionaires, I guess...

I’d much rather this happen to billionaires. They have actual power.

The queen dissolved parliament a few years ago, and while she is dead now I don't think her death was related

Parliament asked her to do it though. That's a bit different. If a monarch tried to force the issue it would go very badly. It's one of those technical power versus real power things.
