Left wing is a bit of a reach! I often wonder what's in it for countries like Canada in the Commonwealth, I don't think there are any trade advantages and I think ultimately it's just a chance to adopt a part of another culture and take part in our big game of dress up. Do they gain much in terms of freedoms by losing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Very strange to see royalists/monarchists in a supposed first world country in the 21st century. I wonder if her face is still going to be on our currency now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a significant step into the cultural unknown to to become a republic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting watching CNN this evening, as an outsider's take. It seems as though she was kind of the world's defacto mum. The yanks seem quite shocked by it all too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park the "Common"wealth nonsense and move forward. What does the commonwealth even mean though. Is it not just a loose affiliation of countries that kind of share the same values? The Queen had absolutely no influence on laws in Australia or elsewhere (not even in the UK), even if she was referred to as 'head of state'. And when I was in New Zealand, it seemed to me that they more interested in the Queen than we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A highly developed nation, complex and mature economy, healthcare and social policies that are mostly citizen centric, a highly educated workforce, centralised pension plans. I mean, I can go on, it is objectively a progressive nation irrespective of routinely electing the likes of Scott Morrison and Gladys Berejiklian. And the loonie! Maybe we could put a Trudeau on them Fair enough. It really depends what countries you’re comparing it to, imo, but I won’t derail the thread by expanding any further on that!

TheAuthority Posted September 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2022 I just fire up my VPN to take a look at the coverage. It's like brain washing quite honestly. I know the USA #1 stuff is nauseating, but it's really weird to watch. Playing the national dirge after the announcement etc. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
