I think it’s nice. Democracy in action.

Something tells me Erchie, and I might be being crazy here, that the righties won’t be best pleased, even though it’s got nothing to do with them.

When was the vote?

I'd be quite happy for the Queen to ditch all these outlying places to be honest.

Their government ditched the idea of a vote, maybe they thought the people wanted to keep the Queen?

We did so much good across the world with our Empire, I see no need for us to keep helping them all.  Barbados seem to be doing well anyway, especially on social issues.

So it wasn’t democracy then?

The Government is democratically elected on a republican ticket. Lovely democracy in action.

I agree Erchie.

How are you btw? It would be great to see that pic of her on the shitter again

I'm good mate. I considered that picture but thought it might cause the board to go into meltdown 😅
