Jamaica intending to ditch HM Queen Elizabeth II, well, the politicians are

[-:Undertaker:-]

Just another inflamatory story by the Daily Fail who have tagged it as 'ditch' to give it a negative spin to please their readers. They have every right to determine their own future.

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.
