For decades, parliament has been far too lenient about the royal family’s finances. This avaricious practice needs to end, says the former Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker
Yeah no thanks, I’m definitely on the side of the civilians in the anthills. :P
Commonwealth countries seem so fucking strange for me.
I think this is because Americans think we are controlled by the UK or they get a say in our governance or something. But they don’t. Belonging to the Commonwealth is just an extra set of sporting events and dialogues we can participate in.
As someone living in a parliamentary system with proportional representation, I find presidential systems weird. For me, it’s important to be able to get rid of our leader as soon as the majority needs to, not wait around for years.
I don’t think most of you give a shit, but it seems kind of weird to voluntarily recognize a monarch I guess.
Our president wasn’t initially supposed to be quite so powerful, nor the rest of the federal government, but here we are. I care less about getting rid of them and more about the two party lock in bullshit.
Yeah it sucks. We used to have the two party system but we voted to abolish it and switch to proportional.
Having an outsourced royal family is basically just another celebrity for magazines. Some of the elderly like it.
It initially functioned as one of our constitutions’ checks and balances - the kiwi we appoint to “represent” the monarch can disolve the government if it becomes tyrannical. So if we abolish the monarchy we will keep the representative.
