Republicanism in the United Kingdom

Republicanism in the United Kingdom is a movement that seeks to replace that country's monarchy with a republic. For those who want a head of state, the method by which one should be chosen is not agreed upon, with some favouring an elected president, some an appointed head of state with little power. Others support something akin to the Swiss model, without a head of state at all. A republican government was briefly established in the mid-17th century, after the Parliamentarian victory in the English Civil War. The main lobby group that campaigns for the abolition of the monarchy is Republic.
