It almost means the same thing, doesn’t it?

“Another option is for Tasmania to abdictate and go like Singapore did, a Duty Free point of trade. I don’t think most Australians from the other states …”

“After the last Emperor was forced to abdictate in 1912, there was just a short intermediate period, until Mao Zedong (毛泽东) got into power in 1949. ...”

“This comment seems to be contradictory. If Edward never was king how could he be “the VIII”? Also how could he abdictate if he never was king? ...”
