+++++++++++++

Even the Hitler Parody is sad about the Queen's passing. Adolf says nothing but is moved by the stirring scenes and music of the Queen, including "Land of Hope and Glory" and of course "God Save the Queen" at the Queen's End (Exit) http://youtu.be/bu9IxOwWRZw?t=12s

Mavers :(

Hmmm now to be serious.
If it ain't broke why fix it ?
A simple question without deep thought but logical.

Consider the Whitlam situation.
A locked parliament, with money supply blocked.
The government trying to bypass the executive council and parliament
by borrowing money illegally from a suspect Arab arms dealer.
So don't say "It couldn't happen here !".
The only person able to stop the government was GG John Kerr.

If we were a republic the GG would be a President, an ex politician,
be realistic, think they could resist it ?
Didn't I hear talk of Whitlam for President ? or was it Keating ?

Anyway, elect a president and you elect a politician !
