We did.
During the English civil war back in the 15th century. We executed the king and some others. A few royals were forced to leave Briton or face the same fate. For a while, we were royal-less. However, we brought them back, seeing as the country became worse without them. Crap leaders, just like today.
The war was about people power over the monarchy, after brining them back, there was now a monarchy and a parliament. Been this way ever since.
Perhaps we could give it another try and remove the monarchy again.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
