like officially we were a republic at the time, though there was still some monarchical stuff happening around the title of stadhouder.
long story short, the stadhouder position is abolished under Johan de Witt, Orangists mad, a little fucky wucky (the Rampjaar, Dutch for slight oopsie) happens, Orangists still mad, decide to murder and eat the brothers De Witt
Okay, I take back all the times I've made fun of the Dutch
No, they still suck ass. Imagine having a monarch and (only) eating the prime minister.
Plenty of places still have both and haven't eaten a single PM
funny thing is, it was monarchists who did it

Idk... the PMs have been proven to be more annoying at least in modern times.
they did stop the Stuarts being in charge that one time and I'm willing to forgive a lot for anti-jacobites
