's message, "Barbados and Jamaica govt plan to become republics" on 18:51:56 01/26/05 Wed The anglophone Caribbean has been talking about this for 40 years. It has not happened yet. This is not to say that it won't. On the contrary, one of the things which closer Crown Commonwealth co-operation has to offer is its disincentive to republicanism, since membership of our community of 16 countries will actually mean something, instead of being a quaint old piece of historical baggage. This is to say, that if sharing a Head of State with 15 other countries sounds daft, then it will sound a lot less daft if you make them into one country.

Date Posted: 19:49:30 01/26/05 Wed At least that's my reading of it... Barbados seems more determined than Jamaica... Jamaica's got a bigger problem with crime than this issue anyway!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
