Toast 16,131 Posted October 9 15 minutes ago, The Old Crem said: Stuff in various tabloids - reliability obviously has to be questioned. They'll print anything for clicks. Anything to keep the pot boiling. And Meghan herself is the source of a lot of articles in the US media and the likes of Hello and Marie-Claire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viceroy 13 Posted October 15 Good news for The King and Queen before they land Down Under with a poll showing a slump in republican support. I've said it for years - I fully expect there to be a King William V of Australia and King George VII of Australia in my lifetime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said it for years - I fully expect there to be a King William V of Australia and King George VII of Australia in my lifetime. Will is more popular among Australians and New Zealanders then his father. I don't expect either, or especially Canada, to drop them on our team within my lifetime or hell, the next 100 to 150 years. Australia relatively recently removed their Republican minister in cabinet, and the current New Zealand PM has noted there's a little chance NZ it is going that way either, both claiming more pressing matters or political concerns... As for canada, I'm sure Manitoba wouldn veto any attempt at change. After all, essentially until I was born they still required schools to have their students sing God Save The Queen, and that was in the '90s... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,131 Posted October 15 As I like to remind anti-monarchists: consider what the alternative might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sod's Law 445 Posted October 15 Probably because nothing will meaningfully change in most peoples' lives whether there's a monarch or not. Removing the king is a symbolic move rather than a practical one and will involve a lot of constitutional wrangling on top of that which distracts from other issues that matter more. I'm not a diehard monarchist in any sense but there are just other battles I would rather be fighting than swapping out a powerless figurehead head of state. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To commit to that, with cancer treatment, as well seems largely positive prognosis for the King Would be nice if we'd get an official statement confirming progress on his treatment... But it does seem to be going far better than some folks on here have suggested, which I'm happy about. Now only if he'd visit Canada... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
