Thing is, I think a lot of nations have a bit of affection for the Queen that they simply don't have for ol' sausage fingers next in line, so they're jumping ship before, instead of the widely respected Queen, they have a rubbish king which - let's face it - no one really wants.
Also I guess there's the whole uncomfortable "her son was messing about with underage girls but she doesn't really care" situation. |

A lot of british living people from Barbados will up in arms about this, many houses I go in that contain an elderly woman have a picture of the queen on the wall.

Good, the scars of colonialism will never heal while remnants of it remains.

Little England? Not any more - Barbados is becoming Little China. [Awash with cash from Beijing, the island is ditching the Queen. Some fear it is simply swapping one colonial master for another, writes Matthew Campbell. …...It coincides with a plan by the island, famed for its rum cocktails, calypso contests and cricket stars, to sever its last colonial ties with the UK by declaring itself a republic on November 30. In a ceremony attended by Prince Charles, it will formally drop the Queen as head of state in favour of an elected President. Some observers are wondering, however, if Barbados is dumping the symbolic British monarch in favour of a real and formidable emperor in Beijing….. ….The presence of Chinese labourers — I counted at least a dozen without entering the main building development — in a country trying to boost employment among its own population is a sensitive issue. So, for different reasons, are the Chinese buses, Chinese-built houses and the Confucius Institute housed in a Chinese-style pavilion on a local university campus...etc…..etc...] There are also concerns among some of the island's population that the issue was not put to a referendum and are frightened about the future.

i thought the handover was all done very amicably. They are still in the commonwealth, but they want their own identity. I don't see the problem. If they are successful going forward, good for them, if not ... it's their country to run as they see fit
