We wish you would, we would love to be rid but there are so many antipodeans over here in Blighty... need I say more?

She does, do you not realise the stigma she carries over being the head of state of a nation of people whose parliamentary procedure allows the representative for say Wallamalloo to be called a skumbag????
Your point 4 I agree with completely
You worry bout the antipodeans over there? Should see my street...its like a mecca for british backpackers. And the singing...what's with the singing?
During the queen's Last visit here I've hypothesised an arrangement that would work well for both countries and put her to good use.
Apparently elections in Britian won't be held if the queen is out of the country.
Also true is that if the queen is in Australia we will not hold elections (something about upsetting her with the name calling that goes on during our elections).
If we could lock her up in one of our illegal immigrant detention centres (putting the things to good use) then no Australian or British citizen would ever have to hear pre-election prattle ever again.
Surely a cause worth fighting for.
