Jamaica: King’s coronation accelerates plans for a referendum to become a republic

Sky News published this video item, entitled “Jamaica: King’s coronation accelerates plans for a referendum to become a republic” – below is their description.

In a world exclusive, a senior Jamaican government official tells Sky’s Sabah Choudhry the monarchy and “racist” British government policies are driving the push toward republicanism.

Sky News can reveal that an “urgent” referendum could be held “as early as 2024”, which means Jamaica could become independent of the British monarchy and have its own president by next year, according to Marlene Malahoo Forte, Jamaica’s minister for legal and constitutional affairs.
