So much of the Republic issue rest on the style and Stability (or lack thereof Charles) brings to the Monarchy.

Beware an unvoted for King Charles sticking his nose into politics.

His record is mixed.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_III#Official_duties

"In June 2022, The Times reported that Charles had privately described the UK Government's Rwanda asylum plan as "appalling" and feared that it would overshadow the June Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Rwanda, where Charles represented the Queen.

[emphasis added] IT WAS LATER REPORTED THAT [UK] CABINET MINISTERS HAD WARNED

CHARLES TO AVOID MAKING POLITICAL COMMENTS, AS THEY FEARED A CONSTITUTIONAL

CRISIS COULD ARISE IF HE CONTINUED TO MAKE SUCH STATEMENTS ONCE HE BECAME KING."

That was then - when he was just a prince.

I believe that King Charles will stick to tradition.
He knows what's expected of him and what his role is
as King.
He's been preparing for this role for most of his life
and I'm sure that he fully understands what he should
or should not do. He may of course try to rise above
politics in his environmental concerns. But he shall be
diplomatic - I'm sure.

In other words, things that really matter.
is Mise,
In Australia it's Time to spend money on a non-military National Service scheme to bring some sort of sanity & common sense back into our indoctrination facilities !
Make teachers do what they should be doing & the same with bureaucrats !
I know many here on OLO are dead against slowing the Gravy Train but what about those who actually work to produce the goods & services that keep us all going in relative safety & comfort ? Shouldn't they get a say in policy making via referendum ? The Voice doesn't appear to address any such issues other than ideological & more wagons for that train !
Let's address uselessness & incompetence in society first !

I want us to become a republic but a truly democratic one as well.
Alan B,
You think the minority groups would go along with being democratic ?

Hi Foxy

Time will tell.

Dear Mavers,

I'm trying to stay positive and hoping for
the best. I guess that's all anyone of us can
do.
