Date Posted: 19:06:07 10/31/04 Sun What exactly is your point? I gather you have read our website anon, or whatever your name is? If you had, you will realise perfectly well why we have excluded India and Africa. This is about building a federation of equals, with common culture, heritage, institutions and economic systems. Under our proposal, no single country would completely dominate the Parliament. We want to give ourselves a bigger voice in the world by creating a partnership of equals, not to recreate another EU, where our voice is drowned out by a much larger contingent, who do not share our ambitions. It sounds very much like your point is another leftish attempt to find racism behind every lamppost, and hence stifle a perfectly sensible debate with banal nonsense.

Date Posted: 20:19:05 11/01/04 Mon Population of Crown Commonwealth: Circa 130 Million Population of India and Pakistan combined: 1.2 Billion -- Crown Commonwealth GDP Per Capita Circa $25500 India Circa $75 Pakistan Circa $83 -- These statistics of course do not include education, literacy rates, economic aid, debt etc, etc, etc… Please explain how such an enlarged federation would make any sense whatsoever?
