    Probably because we don’t make cars, or anything else. We dig stuff up, send it to China and buy it back in the form of goods.

        It is a colony. The King of England can just fire the Prime Minister any time he likes.

          The governor-general of Australia doesn’t actually work for the King these days.

          No he can’t. Australia, like Canada where I live, is simply a Commonwealth nation. As such Britain has absolutely zero control over politics or who leads the nation.

          That’s what guns are for in the US. Hunting, recreational sport, and keeping the King of England out of your face. It’s all in the Constitution
