Is it actually that easy for Barbados to overthrow the Queen?
Or may they reckon that she will send her troops to her small island?

Yes, I think the Finland model is best. Of course, I've always been a big fan of the AngloSaxon Witenagemot model, before that bastard William the Conquerer came over and wiped out English culture Cry

On a related note, something I've wondered a while: why is the monarchy in Australia seemingly much more divisive and debated than in Canada? I never see anybody, not even dippers or blocists seriously change Queenie's position as head of state, while in Australia practically every elected politician has to have an position in the monarch.

Fortunately Barbados has a great home-grown queen to replace Liz with.

Perhaps it's an affection for big symbols of unified national identity. That Bonapartist urge, I guess.

Apparently in Jamaica PNP want an executive style presidency, while the (right-wing) Labour Party want a ceremonial one.
