Some republicans are so confused, that they see republics, where there aren't any, see today's letter to the editor of The Age:
Loving the royals and becoming a republic are not mutually exclusive. The republic of Canada, as a member of the Commonwealth, still gets royal visits. However the Australian republic does seem some time away.Neither in Canada nor in Australia doe the republicans stand a chance to get what they want. Isn't it interesting, that nobody at The Age spotted the mistake? Or did they share the republicans' wishful thinking?
I suppose that, by then, Tony Abbott will have left us for the great monarchy in the sky.

He's confused by desperation and increasing irrelevance.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny, they want a republic that still gets royal visits and has all the royal trappings, so what's the point of wanting the republic?
