Commonwealth Joke

Ahead of the coming UK Royal Weddng, the British Parliament has started the constitutional debate on the issue of succession to the throne by the first-born son, ahead of any older sister -- the ancient rule of male primogeniture.

The joke is that for any of this rule to be changed, all the 16 Commonwealth Heads of State (including Bolehland and Zimbawee?) must first agreed !!! Suddenly the moribund Commonwealth Club members have become so relevent and powerful as to decide on the fate of the future Kings or Queens of England!!

For most of them, including Australia and NZ, I guess, the response could be "Who cares!"
