New Beginnings for Barbados without the UK monarch

​Barbados, I salute you. 👏🇧🇧

By now, you would have already know the news before we entered this month December that Barbados (Caribbean country) have ditched the UK monarchy and became an republic. The World’s newest republic. 

History has been made indeed. 😀🙂🇧🇧

Congratulations to the nation and the Barbadian people. 🇧🇧

New era for Barbados as it is now officially a republic. 🇧🇧😀🙂👏 The country is no longer under the monarchy. The British monarchy. 55 years ago, they declare independence from the UK & now 55 years later, another historic on 30th November. This time, having their own head of state with the first ever female president.

Barbados is still an member of the Commonwealth of Nations. It is not leaving Commonwealth. Although I have to say so that everyone is clear on this. Barbados is an independent sovereign country. This is something that those who voted for Brexit (UK out of the EU) does not seem to understand in my opinion.

By the way, Who is chanting “sovereignty” now Brexiteers? Your support for the isolationist policy (Brexit) was supposed to be about the UK being closer to the Commonwealth nations like Canada, Australia & New Zealand. Well it had done the opposite for non white Commonwealth majority nations like Barbados. 😂

I don’t want to hear any nonsense about the word “sovereignty” from leavers while continuing to show their strong dislike of the European Union. No wonder Brexit was supposed to be about being closer to the Commonwealth except it is only closer to New Zealand, Australia & Canada. Even the United States (even it is not in the commonwealth) & the AUKUS defence pact with three countries while moving away from anything European. 

So who is next to follow Barbados’s lead to remove the British monarch as the head of state? Jamaica could be next to ditch the Queen as the head of state by having their own head of state of any Commonwealth realm countries. Only time will tell. 

For now, I want to say once more congratulations to the people of Barbados & best wishes for the future now that the country has their own head of state. 😀🙂🇧🇧
