All you'd need to do is threaten her with a civil war, or have a large amount of the citizenship on your side. Hence why the more people we convert to anti-monarchism, the easier it'll be.
Sounds like the mid 16 hundreds English rebellion against the monarchy. Only this time, no violence.
That is one way yes. However, you will need many many supporters. Very vocal supporters. Still a huge hill to climb.
One thing I didn't like reading in that link you put in your earlier post was this -
Quote:the people of Britain are not citizens, but subjects of the monarch. Most public servants must swear an oath of loyalty, or make an affirmation of their loyalty, to the crown.Didn't like that part. I'm no "subject"! Don't like the "servants" and "swear oath of loyalty" either.
I really am with you on the anti-monarchy.
How does the UR (United Republic) Sound to you? United Republic of Britain. Might take a while getting used to. So used to calling it the UK (United Kingdom).

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.
