As I keep pointing out, most of the time whenever the monarchy goes to a referendum, the people in the Commonwealth realms want to retain it. If Australia, Tuvalu and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are happy with their constitutional set up that they've had since their country became a country, who are you to tell them otherwise? If Barbados had held a referendum on it and chosen a republic then fair enough, but the fact the PM did not hold one suggests she was afraid of losing.
In what way does replacing a tried and tested system of government with a politician somehow make it better?
See below.
Mottley, who has campaigned on republicanism, won a landslide victory in 2018 elections when her party won all 30 seats in the House of Assembly. Mottley believes the people of Barbados gave her a clear mandate to break with the monarchy.
