In a democracy, we shouldn't complain about the cost of exercising the democracy, nor should we avoid it because it costs money.
And referendum aside, won't a expensive changes have to happen when the queen dies and Charles become our new lord and master? Might as well use that opportunity of offset some of the costs and do a complete overhaul.
Time to move into the 19th century and form a republic.
