Good for the countries of the Commonwealth who, despite being part of the same organisation and historical empire, and even all having the same head of state (the Queen), have been locked out of trade deals with the UK because of the EU.
What's the bet the UK falls back onto the "empire" that it has so long ignored.
- gcurt2 10y agoMost commonwealth member states don't have the queen as their head of state. Only 16 of the 53. With the exception of Australia, NZ, Papua New Guinea and Canada these 16 are almost all small (in many case island) countries. You can very be sure that Pakistan, India, South Africa and Nigeria along with 33 other countries don't regard Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state.
