Should Australia become a Republic

[Samof94]

Should Australia abolish the monarchy and become a Republic???

[Mexican Wolf]

Yes, and the sooner the better it does imo.

[FT-02 Senator A.F.E. 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦]

no, and what good would becoming a republic do for Australians?

FWIW I'd vote yes if we'd got another referendum, but not with a great amount of passion.

Whether it'd pass is another question. I think Australia becoming less white helps compared to 1999 - certainly it seems like hardcore monarchists are on the way out - but there's still a really significant small-c conservative political culture here that would be easy to target in a scare campaign and a lot of feeling about "why do we need a referendum for this?"

[Vice President Christian Man]

I think this should be left to the people of Australia. As an outsider looking in, I'd support the idea, however I'm not educated on whether or not Australia admires the monarchy in the same way as a country like the UK does.

[Sumner 1868]

Yes, monarchy shouldn't exist.

[Samof94]

Yes, monarchy shouldn't exist.

I mean, such a dumb idea. The idea the Japanese Emperor was God Incarnate was one reason that WWII happened.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

No
