After the Queen

I was thinking what would happen after the Queen abdicates her throne or dies in the near future. Prince Charles looks set to take the throne but the future generations of the family don't seem so keen. I also think that the monarchy is less popular now in the UK than it was in the past. 

I imagined what would happen if the monarchy was abolished in the UK. I thought that soon after the monarchy were abolished, the house of Lords in parliament would follow so parliament would just be the house of commons, a one house chamber of government with every seat appointed by elections. 

The name of the country would also change because it is no longer a Kingdom, perhaps we would be called the 'United Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. I don't think Northern Ireland wants to remain British or part of the Kingdom so perhaps it would just be called Britain. We could lose the 'Great' part of the name to be simple. 

I thought of names our country would take if we lost the monarchy or northern Ireland. 
'Britain' (That's it). 
'Anglo Wales' if we lost Scotland. 
'United Kindness' to keep the acronym. 
'United Keystone Republic of Britain'. 
'United Nations of Britain'. UNB has a ring to it. 
'Useful and Kind Britain'. 
'Engales' England and Wales. 
'Scotland, England and Wales' Scoengles? 
'Nations of Britain' 

Who knows? I can't imagine what the future would be like.
