Well because anyone who values the Royal Family and the stability it brings to these nations does see this as a negative move. The Mail is a royalist paper like the majority of the British people hence is one of the reasons why it sells so well compared to the Republican papers of the Guardian/Independent, so its hardly a big suprise now is it that the paper takes a pro-Monarchy stance? But the question isn't whether they have a right to determine their own future, nobody disputes that. The question is do you think its a good move by the Jamaican government? and the majority of people in this thread have all said no and have given reasons as to why its a negative move if it goes ahead. Now how about you? you know, it'd be nice to have some intelligent responses rather than the usual 'OMGZZ DAILY FAIL'!

I am really sure that even the Royal Family would not agree with the word 'ditch' tbh so it could not be said to be a pro-monarchy stance just the usual negative tagging to appease their readership. The queen is a constitutional monarch only so tell me what difference it would make to them if they became a republic? What positive effect does having the queen as their monarch have?
It is all very well people having opinions as to whether it is a good move or bad move but who here knows enough about Jamaica
apart from what they read in the papers to even give a reasoned judgement on the situation. I don't so I am not going too.
