If you say you're British, didn't William Wallace do all that for nothing?

I am more British than any of you.
*does best Churchill impression* See? Also Australians are more British than Americans, since Australians are almost exclusively made out of British ex-pats one way or another.

That has been the case in the past, but over the last 20 years or so, the number of citizens with mainly British racial origins has been steadily dropping, and continues to do so. According to this article, by 2025, there will be only about 60% (and dropping) of the Australian population with a British background. Incidentally, did you know that Melbourne has the largest population in the world, of Greeks outside of Athens...and you know how those Catholics like to breed.

You really believe a government is going to make that much difference?
I think not. |

The government represents the people. I could be cynical and say they can't make a difference, but if I do that, it's like giving up on change. Giving up on a better future for all Australians, and I don't want to do that. I want to be hopeful. There is hope. We can do better than we have done in the past. All of us. But only if we are committed to change.
I am. Are you?
