Independence

[Dancing Mustard]

im not trying to avoid the question but i simply don't understand your political terms. are you asking me to name a country that uses the same system as australia

aaaaand I realise that I'm arguing with an idiot.

In the face of this fact I hereby declare myself the winner and bid you adieu.

ahhhhhh i knew it. you didnt debate me because you believed in what you were saying, you just debated to debate. therefore i win cos your just arguing for the sake of it.

Your sig is too big, and what's wrong with that?

No I win because I didn't participate but am still right!

I was watching and laughing. Do I win?

[quote="bellaraphon"]that is history and if you didn't realise, we live in the present. sure, you founded us, but ever since you've never done anything good for australia except include us in your wars. there is no reason why the queen should be our head of state other than the history part, but hey, lets just chuck some criminals over here to settle this place./quote]

You don't really deserve the Queen anyway, mate, because:

a) You seem to have rescinded the use of capital letters. Were they an evil British imposition as well?

b) You've agreed to take Norse in. Come on now...

if the head of state is purely symbolic, why do we need her, she is not a necessity. our government should be like the US, we elect the head of state, who actually does something.

i voted to keep the queen.
the american system of direct election is IMHO the worst type of head of state we could have. look at the hundreds of millions of dollars it costs to run a campaign and the potential for corruption.

It takes money to campign in such a large nation. The only President that really didn't need to do any of that stuff was George Washington, the only President to have become so unanimously.

(It was an awesome movie though. Especially the first part where he makes fun of politics. The 2nd part was boring.)

anyway if there was independence England will be the legitimate successor to the united kingdom so we would get half the oil anyway
