In the absence of new republic polls for Australia Day, WfaAR predicts that 2012 could be a pivotal year for the Australian republic. Things to watch are:
– the reaction to the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall for the Diamond Jubilee
– developments with the referendum to recognise our First Peoples in the Constitution
– Jamaica’s progress towards a republic
– the Scottish independence referendum that could be the start of Scotland’s exit from the United Kingdom and removing the UK’s monarch as head of state.
