In this New Year, let's develop Gibraltar as a Royal City State
For example, the United States of America are not made up of independent countries. In fact, I think we are more independent than many of them. Already our Constitution also grants us more rights etc than any other region of Europe, for example.
But if the word 'state' is upsetting, we can call ourselves the Royal City of Gibraltar.
Be that as it may, it may not be amiss for me to return to my perennial idea that Gibraltar should be granted Royal City status. And why not?
