    I don’t think most of you give a shit, but it seems kind of weird to voluntarily recognize a monarch I guess.

    Our president wasn’t initially supposed to be quite so powerful, nor the rest of the federal government, but here we are. I care less about getting rid of them and more about the two party lock in bullshit.

      Yeah it sucks. We used to have the two party system but we voted to abolish it and switch to proportional.

      Having an outsourced royal family is basically just another celebrity for magazines. Some of the elderly like it.

      It initially functioned as one of our constitutions’ checks and balances - the kiwi we appoint to “represent” the monarch can disolve the government if it becomes tyrannical. So if we abolish the monarchy we will keep the representative.
