Yes, they suck. But, just for interest why would you vote
against the a preamble defined by a fucking bunch of lame
christians but vote for the republic that allows a 2/3 majority
of lame Christians a say so in the President.

The GG is the proxy of the Queen, the president will be the proxy
of two-thirds of parliment, the Queen is notoriously impartial
the parliment is not. At least with a directly elected president
the will of the majority, anyone could win, you almost guarenteed
in the 'politicians' republic however of getting a arse kissing christian.

Are you really an atheist? At least in the present system we did
get an atheist as GG, because the PM couldn't care or didn't care.
