Is that true? Did Howard actually lose his parliment seat?
?
53% ...not exactly a landslide ....
I guess the Sun will be setting then... ;’)
A pretty pony for everyone!
Adios monarchy. Don’t let the door hit yer butt on the way out. Anyhow, after Charles and Diana and all that stupidity, why would anyone want to take the chance on him being king?
Lefties just LOVE to apologize for things THEY haven’t done, but won’t apologize for things they HAVE done.
Seems those Aussies supporters of a "Republic", believe it would consist of doing away with the MONARCHY in Australia, rather than moving to "Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them". (which they ALREADY have in place have WITHOUT being a "Republic").
To make matters worse, they seem to think they can still have DEMOCRATIC elections after becoming a Republic! That can't be, since a bunch of freepers here INSIST that it's not possible to be a Democratic Republic. They claim those are TOTALLY separate, COMPETITING "forms" of government (see their lecturing on "Republic vs. a Democracy", and America is clearly ONLY a Republic and NOT Democratic.
Perhaps the "we're not a democracy" crowd here should start a letter writing campaign to "inform" the Aussies of the truth. I suppose they already are a "Republic", according to what the "we're not a democracy" crowd claims is the meaning of the word "Republic"
