Singapore and India are now a part of the British Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is comprised of several ex British colonies and other countries seeking to gain access to trade from the United Kingdom. The British Commonwealth is supposed to be a platform for economic enterprise between member countries, although these days it is used much more for political and social posturing than any economic benefits, especially for poorer nations seeking to trade with more influential countries. The Commonwealth games aside, the British Commonwealth has far less influence on the United Kingdom than the European Economic Community. Once the colony countries were no longer profitable, Great Britain was happy to treat countries on which they made millions of pounds like the Gyote song; just somebody I used to know. Now it appears with the vote to leave the European Economic Community, they are breaking up with Europe. Does that mean more trade for Commonwealth Countries? And if it does, should they be willing to take Great Britain back? Or as the song goes tell them I wouldn’t want you to get hung up and somebody that you used to know.
