King Says A Republic Is Up To Australian People

[naomi24]

//King Charles has confirmed that it is up to the Australian people to decide whether the country remains a constitutional monarchy or becomes a republic.

 

Ahead of the King's visit to Australia next week, the Australian Republic Movement exchanged letters with Buckingham Palace officials, writing on the King's behalf.

 

A referendum on the issue was held in Australia in 1999, where people voted to remain a constitutional monarchy.//

The quest rumbles on.  Should they stay or should they go?

How charmingly naive of you 🤣.

You honestly think the monarchy has any actual power.

They have what's called soft power. 

Charles wears a Greek flag tie to make a point about Sunak snubbing the Greek ambassador. He eats beef off the bone to make a point about mad cow disease (remember that?)

That's about as far as the monarchy standing up to the government goes.
