Summary: <p>Do you think if somewhere like Australia became a republic that it would start the ball rolling, and other countries would go the same way? Is the UK a republic under the veil of a monarchy? What is the reticence of becoming a republic?</p> <p>Another interesting discussing arising from a listener question, this time Mia from Western Australia, here it is:</p> <p>“Now Queen Elizabeth 2nd has passed, do you think there will be a surge of countries moving towards becoming a republic, like New Zealand? They might stay part of the Commonwealth, and new applications may be made to join the Commonwealth, but will more countries still become a republic?”</p> <p>It’ll be interesting to see what happens after the ascension of King Charles III, though neither Stuart and William have really seen any news of New Zealand wanting to become a republic.</p> <p>An example of the above not happening though is Brexit, because so far no country has followed the lead of the UK. This could be down to other countries seeing the perceived effects on the UK of leaving the UK.</p> <p>There was a trust, and relationship with Queen Elizabeth II, but the new king gives those voices who want to break away from the commonwealth, an opportunity to get their voice heard.</p> <p>Stuart and William mention a Just Giving page in this episode, here’s the link <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/wildmanonwheels">https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/wildmanonwheels</a> Without 'YOU' and your support we won't be able to continue to break down the disability barriers we face in providing our <a href="https://wildmaninspires.co.uk/">Wildman Environmental Learning service</a>.
