At this time (as in this generation) there is no reason for Australia, NZ and Canada to be anything but Republics.
Not long ago there was 'no border' (so to speak) where there was a sort of free trade and immigration/emigration and in real meaningful way were were all citizens of the same Kingdom. An Australian could have simply moved and worked in London and been given same rights, services, protections etc. Same back and forth all over, but, All that is gone now. A Canadian could no more go move and work in the UK than anyone else outside the EU, but, A German could. An Australian will have to go through UK customs and be no more given any special rights, benefits or protections than would Chinese or Russians. Oh there may still be a handful of 'commonwealth' sharing and ties. 'grandfather clauses' or some legacy ventures here and there, but, realistically, Australia would just benefit their country and culture. Canada would too. If anything ties and bonds between them and the UK would be as strong or even stronger. Quote:

This country should become a republic after the death of the Queen. The hereditary principal doesn't mean anything anymore. In fact I think it's part of what makes so many Brits so insufferably class obsessed.

I didn't realise that Australia was still under the monarchy, i realised their was a relationship between the UK and Australia because the queen has been there a few times. Would it make much difference either way? Its not as if the queen is going to take Australia back and rule over Australia, and at the same time its not like we can just go into Australia, we still need Visa's and things.

All aristos should lose their title. I was on a tour bus in London once and the tour guide recording said the whole place was owned by some Duke or other.
I think the Daily Mail today has MIDDLE CLASS in its headline. I just think, would you ever give it up ffs! Last edited by Omen; 18-08-2010 at 05:40 PM. |

We should invade Australia and use it thereafter to alleviate the overcrowding in our jails. New Zealand we could invade and then sell to Russia thus reducing our bad debt.

Unless I've misunderstood him, OddballMisfits thinks the Jewish Rothschild dynasty is secretly ruling the United States and is answerable to the Queen of England as their superior... who to be dictator of the world. :-/

How does that validate the monarchy? Scratching my head here. Very obtuse, or I'm thick.

He's not forwarding a case for the Queen, is he? (So, her 'ER being the Godhead does not justify or validate the queen's existence.) Maybe he is. Maybe I read irony where there was none. Sorry. |
