The Republic of Ireland has a directly elected President and the system seems to work well.

But as a solid Irish Republican and an Australian Monarchist, I'm in favour of the status quo.

Those who disparage Prince Charles know little about him.

We Australians have no choice, do we Is Mise?

Behold Dorky Charles playing at Scottie dog laird http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00788/charles-kilt-1_788452c.jpg

with his boss Camilla.

After so many years as Charles III-to-be dull Charlie still doesn't get it https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/aug/17/prince-charles-national-trust-patronage

Charles is more likely to organise a Kerr.

I don't mind showing my hand. Even though being the son of migrants but born here, I am expected to favour a republic.

Quite not so. In fact quite staunchly the opposite. Surprised? I here you say. I have always recognised that England 'OWNS' Australia. I'm very comfortable with that fact.

Again you say, why? Well as many have mentioned already, we will end up with a politician. Unlike what we have now. We have another level of guardianship and I like that.

We don't need more laws, or police. We need more 'honest' pollies and cops. The reason we don't get any response when we are under physical attack is because the cop scum are out there busilly raising revenue for the polly scum.

Stop looking without, start looking within. Stop the pollies from wasting billions on vote seeking popularity agenda. Stop them from siphoning millions into their own back pockets, and their mates.

Stop finding new ways to waste money on pathetic minority demands. Stop creating new and useless projects that waste money. All this goes a long way to why they are always seeking more and more money.

We would not have the inflation rates we have had if not for this stupid philosophy.

Stop these major drains on our budget and we can re-direct funds where they should go.

As for the police we have too many as it stands. When the govt stops stealing money and re-directing it to their own ends we won't need the police out there chasing motorists, but back where they were always meant to be; PROTECTING THE PUBLIC FROM IMMEDIATE HARM!

So NO we do not need a republic or bill of wrongs or any other trendy idea some morons come up with so they can steal money unchecked.

You have what you have because you're not entitled to any better.
Them's the facts!

Special Delivery, what do you mean?

It was not meant as a personal response.....
Perhaps I should have said,' the country has what it has because it deserves no better'
