How would you vote in a referendum to remove absolutely all legislative power and influence that the monarchy holds and for the removal of the monarch as the head of state?

Maintain.
If we were to make a new country today, I certainly wouldn't want a monarchy, but our current system works, and as long as that continues to be the case, I see no reason to change it.

Maintain the monarchy here...
All in all it doesn't affect me that much and it brings people in to London.
I wouldn't want Cameron's' face every time I pull out some money, so that's another reason as well.

Apart from the fact that we have unelected individuals that hold power, what I want is a democracy.

Without the monarchy there would be one less thing stopping this country from becoming an utter, faceless ****hole with nothing to differentiate it from the rest of the world. I believe that having a monarchy is also very beneficial, it brings tourism, it promotes patriotism, it generates money.
Good point, I would hate to be American and have to look at Donald Trumps's face every time I pulled out some money if he become president.

The monarchy brings in the money from the tourists and gets lots of people excited so may aswell keep them.

Yes, but our Monarch doesn't impinge on our democratic rights. If they were to do so, then I would be in favour of abolishing it.
If it ain't broke...

I agree with Acme and Judgeneo on this. Plus, the charity work that these people carry out is invaluable. Yes, these things didn't require someone who is 'royal,' but the free publicity and attention that they bring with them is enormous.

EU exit has nothing to do with sovereignty which don't have any powers iirc.. ?? You do know this is a democratic country yes?
You're wrong there, while the Monarch does not use of its power. It does use its influence, the letters that Price Charles writes for example and the weekly meeting with the PM.

I like all the pomp and circumstance that goes with it. Don't really know why.
