This thread is actively moderated, let's behave like adults, shall we?

For conversation on an Australian Republic:

Who wants a Republic?

I am just curious in the figure as it has been over 10 years since we had a referendum for it. Personally, I think we should become a Republic.

It does appear that way. Top innings.

The family going up to Balmoral is really a bad sign

Loves a punt on the horses.
Hopefully her last words are a tip for the Melbourne Cup.

Luckily they've got a calm and level headed Prime Minister well equipped to unify the country.

She will probably nuke Moscow in retaliation.

Look at the British Empire when she got the job and the state of it now, hard to argue that her reign has been a great one. All she gets a prize for longevity.

Exactly this. If you believe that the monarchy actually means anything, in the end her legacy is the greatest loss of power in world history.

Of course that this had nothing to do with her shows the pointlessness of the institution and why its abolition should be missed by nobody.

Cool,
Good time to cut the corner out of the flag.
Coins are obsolete.

Tough crowd.

"Remains comfortable at Balmoral" seemingly the equivalent of "retains the full confidence of the board" in this situation.

It doesn't sound too good.

For an anti-royal I've never minded Liz... or Will and Harry for the matter. I reckon the latter has definitely realised all along what a ridiculous situation he was born into.

Probably more the bullshit institution around it that's messed up.

What I'm most keen to see the Daily Mail turn this into a way to explode over Meghan.

They've pulled their regular programming for the rest of the day.

Agree with others that there's a fair chance she's already gone.

The institution of a constitutional monarchy isn't pointless at all, given that reserve powers are vested in the monarch. The whole point of reserve powers exercised by the monarch and his/her representatives is that those reserve powers mostly operate in the background and operate as an incentive to appropriate behaviour by politicians.

One of the strengths of a hereditary constitutional monarchy in my view is that the Head of State can more readily remain apolitical.

That mob is just messed up in the head. Point and laugh material really.
