An outfit calling itself the undergroundREPUBLIC has emerged from the sewers or some dank hole to say it’s time to say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth as our Head of State.
Probably they don’t know the words of Happy Birthday and would rather be rid of our monarch than wish her a happy birthday and sing that song.
Accordingly, they are asking: “Why do we celebrate the Queen’s Birthday ……. Seriously???”
They (or maybe there is just one) have expressed their sedition in a media statement today.
“Bye Bye Liz” …. Let’s elect our own President as a figurehead, like other modern democratic countries do… a kiwi who makes us proud to be a New Zealander.”
“Let’s put this person’s head on our coinage for the duration they are our Head of State.”
“It would be easy to have nominations with 500 signatures, forwarded to the Electoral Commission so that we can vote in our President at the same time we vote for our representatives.”
