I realise in a Parliamentary system you don't really vote for the PM in the same way one does a President in America, so its possible to have a PM everyone hates thats still PM because people liked the party or candidates from parties that won.<br /><br />So just how Popular is Gillard in Oz?ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-17535306930725268622011-03-05T03:41:30.415-06:002011-03-05T03:41:30.415-06:00Actually, we had an election last year.

We actually wound up with a hung parliament, and Gillard got the Greens and three independents to back her, and I don't think many of them would be monarchist (even the country independents, much as they claim to be conservative).<br /><br />Still, I do agree that it should be the GG rather than the PM who goes to the wedding. PMs come and go (rather faster than they used to, apparently). Royals and GGs stay.Professor Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659779116600213901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-38742460355170404312011-03-05T03:17:22.334-06:002011-03-05T03:17:22.334-06:00I don't know her whole political history but i...I don't know her whole political history but if she was in Parliament I'm assuming she was elected by someone -obviously not the sort of people I would be in sympathy with. Were it up to me she would never have been allowed to take her seat much less become PM.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-32348255548029284472011-03-05T02:38:46.348-06:002011-03-05T02:38:46.348-06:00AUSTRALIAN PM INVITED TO ROYAL WEDDING
I agree wi...AUSTRALIAN PM INVITED TO ROYAL WEDDING<br /><br />I agree with the MadMonarchist, it is ridiculous that a republican regardless of the fact that she's my nations Head of Government was invited to attend. She is part of the group that probably supported that English Bishops public denouncement of the wedding. I'd rather invite Tony Abbott (Australian Opposition Leader) who is a man of faith and still believes in the institution of Monarchy and does not waiver in those beliefs while Gillard seems to contradict herself on most things. It wouldn't even matter if she wasn't invited even OBAMA wasn't invited, I'd think people would understand.<br /><br />DUKE OF YORK CRITICISM<br /><br />I am also enraged on how politicians in the UK seem to be targetting the Duke of York of things that are nothing close to the detestable acts of politicians. <br /><br /><br />These events simply enrage myself as an Australian and a Monarchist.<br /><br />ARAB 'REVOLUTION'<br /><br />I will join the rest in celebration when Colonel Gaddafi is finally removed from power and bought to judgement for his crimes but I also hope that this 'Arab Revolution' doesn't claim a single Monarchy which luckily it hasn't so far. Isn't that funny though? The Middle East is virtually the only part of the word that still has Absolute Monarchy's yet only the republics are the ones getting toppled for tyranny and corruption. Perhaps the monarchies there aren't as bad as people imagine?Udileonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610608350599470580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-1253898581445460092011-03-05T02:04:56.404-06:002011-03-05T02:04:56.404-06:00Julia Gillard should not be PM of Australia, or Ma...Julia Gillard should not be PM of Australia, or Mayor of a small town in the Outback. It should b required that the PM be loyal to the Crown at least Nominally, and certainly not Hostile to it.<br /><br />Then again she also made a show of her Atheism as if that makes her impressive. Somehow these days its something to be proud of.<br /><br />But to correct, I don’t think Julia Gillard was elected by the Good People of Australia was she? Rudd the Dudd was asked to leave and she was made an interim replacement. I don’t think she’s really elected.<br /><br />I’d have just asked the Governor-General.<br /><br />As to the Butcher, hey, its likely they at least knew the Family.<br /><br />As to Omar, it seems that Revolutionary Sentiment is a Fever hat spreads. It also seems like this happened in the 18th Century. Democracy as an ideal took root in most of the world by the end of the 20th Century and now they express this by Violent Revolutions because those have been Glorified. I think Omar was not so bad a place, just not in line with the socialist vision of Prosperity.<br /><br />Churchill said Socialism was the Doctrine of Greed, and that also plays a part of it methinks.<br /><br />Ghaddafi is the only one subject to such Revolutions I have no Sympathy for. He betrayed his King and became basically a Military Dictator. We did nothing to depose him, though a man from Scotland named Sterling did come up with an Idea on how to Reinstall the King.<br /><br />Still, Ghaddaffi is not one I can muster much for.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.com
