yeh we have done it 3 times in my life time..... and we republicans.... (for want of a word) lost 3 times straight by 1-2%
the reasons be 1. I’m British citizen living in Australia…that's my queen your trying to get rid of 2. I prefer the neutrality of a non-political figurehead rather than a politician. (referring to the governor general)
Don’t get me wrong…. I’d fine with the current constitutional Monarchic democracy If the queen actually has anything to do with the way our system works……
We function as a republic in everything but name….. even the governor general is elevated from the Australian citizenship….. So as not to decentralise our power base…. And the position has never done anything in my life time… but look pretty
So I fail to see the point of keeping up a farce..... meanwhile the queen as as much power over us as she does britain
----------------------- *chuckles* sorry about that
