Absolutely not. Changing the structural framwork of the nation is not something to be done based on an issue's short term popularity. If the issue can maintain consistent support for a decade or more that's a lot better signal that it might be a good long-term idea.

Is there another current government that's older than 2 centuries? I think we made a tradeoff for stability. Arguably that worked out well.

The UK government is continuous from at least 1688 and arguably earlier.
