Maybe the Canadians and the Aussies and the New Zealanders (is that correct?) should simply say: "We don't want to have anything more to do with British rule (even though it's not officially official :? ). Well, okay, that sounds rather drastic. It's just odd to think that a free country would still want ties in such tradition that it "technically" seems they're still under the rule of a monarch.

Nevrtheless, a very strange technicality...

Well, here's the big question. If Australia, New Zealand, and Canada and are still technically under British rule, what would happen if the British government and/or the monarch suddenly decided to start exercising those powers of governing? I'm sure it wouldn't go over well with anyone, but would it be legal and/or would it be legally enforced? And, ultimately, would anyone take it seriously?

That's a nice one SOCL! The thought had crossed my mind as well. Technicality may mean it's nothing important but that doesn't change the fact that it's true and real. In understand that nothing serious or important will ever come from it but technically, Australia and Canada are still ruled by the British Queen. So, she could technically exert power over those countries and these countries technically would have to follow that influence...

An idea for a new and very interesting story suddenly begin brewing in SOCL's mind. . . .

The point is, the Queen has very little real power here either. She has to work in co-operation with the PM.

I understand that: it's the same with our queen. Nevertheless, both queens in question have more power in their respective royal pinkies than either the entire community of 1700 something registered SWR members!!!

 

And that's putting it mildly...

its a movie with lot of elements from Star Wars, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher plays some minor roles in it (Carrie f.ex. is a nun (or however you spell it) and Mark is the bad guy )

 

its REALLY fun.. you gotta see it :D

Jay and Silent Bob is a great movie, I loved the twisted Scooby-Doo reference. Mallrats is also a great Kevin Smith movie.
