well that's the alternative, innit?

Posted by Reagen (aka Reagen) Dec 11 '08, 15:29

It's the same idea as many many other countries in the world where they have one leader appointing the other. Like, Israel, where the President is almost entirely ceremonial and picked by the PM. Ours just happens to have the backing of someone who wears a crown. It's not like we haven't thought about it, but it causes zero problems, so we have no desire to change it. Besides, the monarchy is very, very popular here.

  - Yeah, it wasn't the GG making that call. It was the Prime Minister. She just had to follow the advice of her first minister. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 11, 15:41 2
