Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'd like to point out that Barbados was colloquially known as "Little England" among the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean so this has come as a surprise to us! Barbados will be the third republic in the English-speaking Caribbean after Guyana (1970) and Trinidad and Tobago (1976). Your move, Jamaica!

mclumber1 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I had no idea that any of these Caribbean nations didn't have the Queen as the head of state. Get with it Canada, Australia, and NZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Barbados elects first president as it prepares to drop Queen as head of state | Barbados | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Caribbean nation elects governor general to new role prior to former British colony becoming a republic Quote Barbados has elected its first president with just weeks to go until the Caribbean island becomes a republic and ceases to recognise Queen Elizabeth as its head of state. The island’s governor general, Dame Sandra Mason, was elected almost unanimously by the former British colony’s parliament on Wednesday, with only one member declining to vote. Mason, a 72-year-old judge and former ambassador, will be sworn in on 30 November, the 55th anniversary of her country’s independence from Britain in 1966. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
