Jamaica Plans To Break From Britain (8th January, 2011)

Jamaica’s new Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller has announced hercountry will break away from Great Britain and become a republic. She paid tribute to the British Queen during her inauguration speech on Thursday but expressed her country’s desire to become truly independent. She said: “I love the Queen. She is a beautiful lady, and apart from being a beautiful lady, a wise lady and a wonderful lady.” She then added: “But I think the time has come.” She toldher audience that now was a good time to break away as Jamaica was celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence from Britain. Ms Miller said: "As we celebrate our achievements as an independent nation, we now need to complete the circle of independence.”

Mrs Miller is not the first Jamaican leader to propose replacing the Queen as head of state. The difference this time round is thatthere is wider political support for fully breaking away from the country’s former colonial power. There may not even be a need for Jamaica’s people to vote in a referendum on the issue. The changes to the constitution could be made through parliament as long as opposition parties are in full agreement. In the meantime, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is still the head of state and Jamaica’s primeminister is formally appointed by the Queen’s representative in Jamaica. Prince Harry will visit Jamaica later this year, which may lead to an embarrassing diplomatic situation.
