Well, if you want to consign the Head of State's legal and political independence to the rubbish bin of history, reject the overwhelming desire of the majority of HM's subjects to keep the Monarchy, and leave the constitutional safeguards governing Parliament at the hands of the Leader of the House (BUFF!!!
