ARM has Blood Rush on Brexit

ARM got a bit carried away with the Brexit result declaring that it heralded a new dawn for the Republic that would be a shoo-in because the British people had voted for ‘independence’ – and so should we ie from them. Well, they didn’t vote to get rid of the monarchy so WfaAR can’t see what the Brexit vote has to do with Australia becoming a Republic. Our situation is not at all similar to the UK where one sixth of current laws emanate from legislation passed by the European Parliament. A press release was issued and chair, Peter Fitzsimons, bruited the fabulous implications from his column in the Sydney Morning Herald. WfaAR told ARM that we didn’t agree with them.
