Politics are not allowed but I think that this renders a post. My condolences. Please keep it civil in accordance to the forum rules. |

It's hugely sad news of course, London bridge has fallen. Almost certainly game changing for Australia. We had a referendum in 1999 to become a republic and it was only barely rejected back then. The Queen is the one who held the entire system together for 70 years, now that she's gone I fully expect another referendum within the next year, and I would expect it to pass this time. Hardly anyone likes Charles. So my money is Australia having an elected president instead of a Prime Minister within a few years. |

Sad partly because she generally did way more good than any harm on balance over decades. :-+ But the Elephant soon to enter the room as King just will not remain undiscussed in this country at least. The only reason the unelected mob on the other side of the planet were not removed last time was because of the loaded question put to us and the generally good feeling about the Queen. Rephrase the Question with King Chuck in place is an easy 10-15% change. |
