Dunno what happened with that other user’s post, but I figured I’d post the correct article for them. Not really the sort of article I’d usually post or even read.
I was only somewhat joking when, a week or so ago, I suggested that that switching to the Danish monarchy could be a compromise between republicans and monarchists.
There’s something to be said for an overall “boss” to the Government. Someone with no real power day-to-day, but with the power to sack the government and force us to an election. Critically: someone outside our politics.
The one time the power was invoked, it was done terribly by a Governor General worried over his own job and for local political reasons.
If we disconnect from the monarchy, I would want that position to be retained by someone. But who? The queen king fills this role fairly well at the moment.
