Like enshrining the position of head of state as being the next in line for a particular family who are born & live on the other side of the world?

For the love of democracy let's not fuck that one up again next time it comes around. Based on yesterday the next PM may well be one of our most evil statesmen around. I think the ARM is planning for a 2027 republican referendum... please let's not elect a skilled reactionary to lead our country when the time comes.

Judging by the way the vote went in previous libs, now teal seats, it may be more likely he's cemented his status as unelectable.
