"The Kingdom of the United Commonwealth. tell me what you guys think?(i realise you've probably talked about this before, but i thought I'd through this out there)."

That name only appeals to monarchists, and sounds a bit old fashioned... I like federal commonwealth, it's more open.

Author: Ed Harris (London) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:47:42 01/07/05 Fri I quite agree. I am a staunch monarchist myself, but a good 35-40% of people in CANZUK are not. No need to antagonise the blighters. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The European Union calls itself "Europe", despite the fact that the name also refers to a continent.

The United States of America call themselves "America", despite the fact that the name also applies to two whole continents.

We could simply call ourselves "the Commonwealth" and let people suffer mild confusion when someone actually refers to the current organisation.

And the English call Cornwall the "west country" in their Grosse Reich. Freedom for Cornwall! Freedom for all subjugated nations in the English empire! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Ian (Australia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:05:36 01/07/05 Fri Any sensible President would have done the same thing: the parliament was deadlocked, and the G-G was right to give the electors the chance to choose. This is democracy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
