What the petition asks
Too expensive to have monarch. Majority of the time monarch does not exercise powers. Feudal system outdated. Britain needs change to more modern and democratic society.
The monarch serves no political purpose. Britain claims to be a democracy - democracy is based on equality, not class hierarchy.
