Well done Barbados – Monarchy is an undemocratic anachronism.
The comments here for Barbados are lively but we were actually independent and making our own decisions since 1966 . This is basically just figuratively for head of state
Félicitations to Barbados 🇧🇧 from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
We still love the queen 👸and her🤴🤴👸🤴👸family 🇬🇧🇧🇧
Congrats!!!!!! All Islands should take this strance! She's head of the Slave Trade!!!!!!
Smart move.
Canada and Australia your turn is come
Congrats Barbados 👋🌍
probabally because of Prince Andrew 😂 … the royal family had their place, i myself am British and i wish we could also get rid of them
Good for them, We will be sad to see them go. We did give them 4.5million last year. Military Protection for if they are ever invaded, and scholarships grants to UK universities. Plus disaster aid & You live in a democracy.
It's a risk, but I genuinely wish you well. We will still be sending vaccines to covax, so hopefully we can all get through this and on to better things.
ทรงพระเจริญท่านขอเป็นย่าทุกชาติไปกราบให้สถิตในใจหนู
I Can't wait for England to be free from the grip of the uninvited parasitic so-called royal family.
Fun fact…… did you know that this republic was forced on Barbadian an 70% of Barbadian don’t know what a republic is or how it really works
The rest of the commonwealth nations should learn from Barbados this is the right move nice going in Barbados all the best 👍👍👍
Canada and New Zealand should also follow persuit
The Barbados BLM march that called for this is the funniest thing. They're calling the 100% black police force a system of white supremacy etc.
Теперь всё разрушат
Brussels Broadcasting Company spin ?
I don't want to see a completely republican eutopa. after the immense chagrin of barbados, I realize that we are living in the "belle epoque" of a republicanism that will never, ever be able to fill the void left by a monarchy. that is to say, the monarchy is solemnity and sacredness, while the republic what ??? absolutely nothing, that's why an atheist would be happy with the republic, because he doesn't have the sacredness and solemnity, in short, he doesn't have a soul, and it is precisely the soul of the monarchy in Europe that made a republic say he uses this phrase "wooow cool" to the point of sometimes wondering "but what would the united states be like if they were a monarchy ??". in short, the monarchy unites, while the republic divides ideas by creating other distorted ones, thus giving rise to dictatorships (mostly republican)
BBC new about Ghana president
based barbados
Bush 70,000 bombs in 5 free countries
Obama dropped 100,000 bombs in seven countries
$ 73,000 bombs dropped freely in 5 countries
But Julian Assange who exposed the crimes of these people in prison
Human rights and expression are just a tool in the hands of the Western world!
How in the whole was that lady head of state?
I wonder if the ABC will run an interview with someone from the Australian Republican Movement prophesising Barbados' replacement of Australia in the G20 (perhaps Canada too?).
God Bless my mothers country for finally breaking the final chain of British imperialism are ancestors will be very proud
