When Australia had a referendum on the monarchy I didn't vote to remove even though I am a republican. The two alternatives on offer were unpalatable (intentionally so I believe). I know some people voted to keep the monarchy because they like it (??) but I suspect it survived due to people who thought the same way I did.
