WHY ISNT EVERYONE A REPUBLICAN

I'm somewhat ambivalent about this. On the one hand, the monarchy is an illiberal imperialist vestige and seems like the sort of thing I would want to oppose in principle. Plus, I don't give two shits about the Royal Family as people and the bullshit celebrity gossip around them. On the other hand, I ... generally like how the constitutional monarchy functions and am not especially inspired by the examples of republics elsewhere. Am genuinely curious to see how they'll work things out in the BC legislature.
