...that what I was trying to say was something different. A country like the USA has its own momentum, as we did when we were in our prime. Since the Anglosphere project, from a glance at their website, would quite obviously be an American-led movement, this alone, in my opinion, gives it more chance of success. The Yanks have a way of getting things done: not always well, not always for the right reasons, but they put in the effort nonetheless.

I am not trying to say that the Anglosphere is a comparable idea, nor am I suggesting that it is more desirable than some form of CANZUK federation. It is a different creature altogether and as such must be considered to have different opportunities and different problems, and it is my evaluation that it would have fewer problems than the FCS, not least the near absence of the lethargy, cynicism, precious and self-regarding regional particularism, fantasies of exceptionalism and all the other things which make modern Britain what it is.
