Ahead of his visit later this month, the king is said to be adopting an “anti-confrontational approach” to Australian republican campaigners, the Daily Mail reported.

    So, countries can multitask. I don’t believe that it’s a fair criticism of an action to say “I want the country to do this other action that I want”.

    It might be a fair criticism to say “the country isn’t doing the thing that I want”.

    But countries are large organizations. There are many, many things that a country does in a given year, and many of them won’t be the particular concern of some given individual. But that doesn’t imply that those things shouldn’t (or should) be done.
