Barbados swaps one colonial power for another, China.

Barbados has become a republic in November 30, 2021, ending its status as an independent dominion in which the Queen of Britain serves as head of state as represented by a Governor-General. To ensure its full independence as a nation and to fully break the ambilical cord with Britain while maintaining diplomatic ties with it, Barbados must shift from the full parliamentary system to the semi-presidential system of the government, the mixture of the best features of the presidential and parliamentary systems that provides for sharing of executive powers between the President, the head of state that the people will directly elect for example, for a term of five years with another re-election for a term of five-years, and who will have the ultimate authority in terms of leadership of the state and that of the Prime Minister, the head of government that will be elected by the Parliament, the Legislative, upon the nomination of the President, to run the day-to-day operations of the government and to direct the government, composing of ministers, in executing the government policies and laws. This then, will help assure the overall development, progress and stability of the nation in the long-term. 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

Congratulations and best of luck for the new Replublic

I am proud to be a Barbadian.Praise and blessings 🙌 to all Barbadians.

I think Australia, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Caribbean, and other dependent dominion should follow the same suit. Many countries still have union jack on their flags. India did it just after her independence in 1947.

The first thing Barbados needs to do, is get control of its ECONOMY or start rebuilding one. For 400 yrs, Barbados and other Caribbean Islands have fueled British / European Capitalism. Afro-Barbadians were the Labour and the Commodity that built that rock in the Caribbean and Black Barbadians got nothing of substance in return ! They must also start by making sure that Foreign Capital / Business is in their citizens Economic Interests ! Without this strategy or movement, all this pomp and circumstance in becoming autonomous governing Republic is just so much BS ! Barbados should also continue to demand REPARATIONS for those 400 odd years of Free and/or Low-wage Labour that made Britain a Global superpower ! The Bill is long overdue !

Best wishes for this beautiful nation.

Happy Independence!!! A great day, long overdue!!!

Jamaica as always been the most british country in the Caribbean. Jamaicans love the queen and are loyal to their British heritage . Jamaica wont get to this ever .

Rihanna a national hero... What is this world coming too.

Who made Rihanna wear that dress for this occasion? … seriously

Congratulations from Republic Of SOMALILAND

Congrats to my sister island and long live a bright future.

Congratulations from Algeria ^^ 🇧🇧🇩🇿

congratulations 👏now you have your own queen 👸Rihanna

Well done Barbados. Welcome to the family of Republics. Please UK, follow suit, the monarchy is no longer valid

Barbados is not getting rid of its colonial past. It will always have that. Notice how HRH Prince Charles is cool about it all. Unlike Brussels when the UK left the EU.

I don't want to see a completely republican eutopa. after the immense chagrin of barbados, I realize that we are living in the "belle epoque" of a republicanism that will never, ever be able to fill the void left by a monarchy. that is to say, the monarchy is solemnity and sacredness, while the republic what ??? absolutely nothing, that's why an atheist would be happy with the republic, because he doesn't have the sacredness and solemnity, in short, he doesn't have a soul, and it is precisely the soul of the monarchy in Europe that made a republic say he uses this phrase "wooow cool" to the point of sometimes wondering "but what would the united states be like if they were a monarchy ??". in short, the monarchy unites, while the republic divides ideas by creating other distorted ones, thus giving rise to dictatorships (mostly republican)

I dont know why britishers are getting angry dude they have nothing in common with you

well done Barbados

We are stronger together 🇯🇲🇬🇧 united we stand divided we Fall

Rihanna a hero? Barbados just went one step forward and twenty steps backwards. If this is what your change is, Lord help you.

Antigua wish Barbados the best

We are stronger together 💪,🇬🇧🇯🇲🇨🇦

Congratulation Barbados.

Congratulations to Barbados from India, punjab

That's who they sent as the queens representative? The queen has little to no respect for him...that move speaks volumes!

Amazing i love this ❤️ culture deserves to live on its own keep your spirit alive ❤️

Tell you the truth Jamaican peoples worship all white peoples as long as they white Jamaican will bow down.

That's not the Royal Standard. That's Prince Charles' personal standard.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Am I watching black royalty?

When Rihanna having a barbarian (baby) 🐥 😁

Rock you like a hurricane!

Gave the queen a few slaps to the face lol

Yessssss all the best 🇧🇧

I wonder how long it will take to reduce Barbados to the level of Zimbabwe or South Africa? I'm sure Mrs Mason's family will do alright.

Let's us emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds.

What is Canada waiting we are in a 21 century

Congratulations Rihanna

Yet they want to go to the uk

Republic of Barbados! Well done done to Barbados. Jamaica. You should be ashamed you are still a colony.

🎉🎊 FREEDOM 🎊🎉 Hope other nations under the British monarchy get their independence as well (looking at Jamaica 👀) 🙏🏾

=== Was this a democratic decision ? === Or has this republic been imposed, like the USSR upon the people of Russia ?

I hope you do not start fighting among yourselves like South Sudan.

Congratulations and a Happy St Andrew’s Day.

No offence Queenie... l'd rather have Rhi Rhi rule my world any day.

“Shine like a demon” ... Madam President said to Rihanna???

Congrats Barbados…

All of this is a farce,multiple thousands of bajans dislike the method & process surrounding republic/independence proceedings.Serious.

What's with the hand salute from military members? Is it suppose to British style, or like the US armed forces?

London bridge is falling down falling down falling down London bridge is falling down my dear lady

And the difference is

Next one is the Holly Republic Of SOMALILAND

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am very afraid that “ independence” of Barbados, will create negative movements.. but hopefully not.

Marvelous!

There was hope after the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Merkel. Considering that majority of the Commonwealth countries are black nations, Meghan Markle would've been the perfect ambassador. However, the way she has been treated by white racist and the British public a a whole, other black countries should cut ties with the British Crown. Congratulations to Barbados who have chosen to do that. Bravo Bravo Bravo.

They are not the indigenous peoples

The most HIGH is awakening His true people back to Him .

Hopefully this will save the uk a lot of money and I don’t need Charlie apologising for me for something I never did

Jealous and unpopular ladies will find fault with Rihanna's 👗 dress. Lol! Fenty you are trendy !!! viewers need to Know the reason the purpose the company and sponsor prior to the endorsement. It's a superstar thing laypersons won't understand.

Puerto Rico needs its Independence from the USA! How did you do this?

I give it ten years and it'll be another Zimbabwe.

So does that mean Barbados are no longer part of West Indies? 🤔

It will be interesting to see if Independent Scotland can afford the Queen?

Haiti 2.0

*1ST AMERICAN ROYAL FAMILY: Dear President Sandra Mason, we the Monarchy are the World's Newest form of Government. The Old Ancient Democracy is without Religion or Family Values. We're offering flights booked for you to Toronto, Canada with Sunwing Airlines and we're granting you Asylum for Safety into the U.S.A. for Permanent Residency in Detriot.*

Prince Charles should never have been invited to the celebrations.

Wow that’s amazing, and with a woman President… OK

Barbados however you have got the finance to gain your independent; I don't care. If you have my money, quietly return it and tell your Jezebel aka Rhianna never to ask me for money. Ok? Cause she always asks for my money only to give charity like it was hers....

Rihanna doesn't even live in Barbados anymore . Is barbados gonna become suddenly super wealthy now and prosper ous without the queen ofcourse not . They ain't worst keeping her and they ain't gonna be better without the queen .

I am from India barbadoes pepple don't follow helijabath please believed republic

Congratulations Barbados 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉💐 Thank you for cutting off the colonial yoke!!!! Now you are a Replica with your sovereignty!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Bye-bye chuckie!!! 😡

I give it 5 years before they’re another Haiti.

Congratulations!! The shift is happening. Hong kong did it decades ago. Its time to loosen the colonizers ties. Take your rightful place.

Did they have a referendom

They should look at what happened in Uganda. The fools are jumping into a fire.

Britain introduced the modern world, proud of my history. Don’t apologise for me you big eared oaf.

Maybe they can achieve wealth & prosperity without asking for UK support & tourism, especially after the next Hurricane blows through. Heaven knows I won’t be going now.

Barbados needs to get rid of everything British it their country if they want nothing to do with the queen and British tourist la should boycott Barbados. Barbados will learn eventually that this wasn't a wize decision

Scotland next 👊🏼

Bad idea 💡 coming from. A Guyanese

Ok so now that Barbados is a republic that means no more $$$$$$$$$$$$ from uk ?
