Time to end on a high? Shall we just abandon this whole monarchy thing and time to flip over to a republic and leave the much revered queen as the last ever monarch of the UK?

Seems like Scotland is going to go independent, and if Scotland do Wales will only be a matter of time so may as well just can it now?

As an American, I kind of envy the fact that there's a referee who can step in when needed. She stepped into Australia's government shut down and fired the whole government in the 1970s during a government shutdown.

It works because she receives extensive training to be apolitical. (And if she is political, there are repercussions.)
