Well the Republic referendum in Australia over 20 years ago flopped. Which I always think is odd with half the country born elsewhere in countries with no connection to Britain or the Monarchy.
We're promised another Referendum within the next 4 years but I still think it will be the same result.
I don't think the UK would ditch the Royals but I do think their excesses are quite shameful and need kerbing. |

The combined military might and wealth of the European countries far outweighs Russia's depleted finances and weapons.
There may be something in one military expert's claim that this is the reason Putin lover Trump is bent on trying to make Ukraine capitulate.
This may be the case but unlike the Russian leadership under Putin which doesn't much care about a few thousand deaths of their young people each week, simple collateral damage, their lives meaningless to Putin, the European democracies in this day and age would never tolerate such sustained massive casualties going on and on indefinitely.
Trump said this evening that 2,700 troops had been killed just last week, and that didn't even include any casualties of the Russian missile and drone strikes. Unsure if this was combined Russian/Ukrainian numbers or just one side's, but I found myself shouting at the screen "you know who to blame for all those deaths don't you, PUTIN!!!" |

Usually - a lot more than the opinion of an individual - without data/recent information. |
