“Her credentials and past endeavours are quite telling of the person she is, and how she approaches her callings, so I think she’s going to be brilliant in her new position. I think she’ll stand as another role model,” says Morris.

From the removal of one leader to the introduction of another, this evolution is sure to be watched carefully by other Commonwealth countries, particularly in the Caribbean region.

On Sunday, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced that there will be a “comprehensive review” of Jamaica’s Constitution beginning in 2022, adding to the feeling that there could be a collective change among some countries in the Caribbean.

“I think what is happening in Barbados could inspire some other Caribbean countries to do the same,” says Morris.

“It definitely could, in the same way that the Scottish referendum sparked other parts of European nations to attempt something similar. However, they might wait and see how Barbados fares first, and consider how their respective governments might address any issues that crop up,” she says.

“Barbados isn’t the first country to take this step,” adds Jordan. “But whether other countries take this step remains to be seen.”
