At our last session of Politics, we considered a Family Court scenario where a complicated family relationship covering several generations had to be resolved. The family court is sometimes confronted with issues that can only be described as the result of unintended consequences. Much discussion ensued.
We also went through the British Royal Family since Henry 8th focusing on the number of children - or lack of - for each monarch. There is quite a history - both tragic and mundane. Some Monarchs had many children but none who could succeed them because no offspring were legitimate. Others had children who unfortunately did not survive childhood or died in childbirth. At one point the authorities passed over 55 local claimants to the throne and awarded the Monarchy to a German branch of the family. This proved ultimately to be a wise choice. Our Royal Family are descendants of this family.
We also considered the issues Australians consider to be the most important. When the polls dig down it reveals that the main issues are the economy, health care and immigration. There are lots of sub issues which are of great interest, and these were discussed at length.
