The Commonwealth is not just "not very influential" or "not very powerful" - it's a dying institution in which the British Government is not even the de-facto leader anymore. Nobody wants to host the Commonwealth Games, the trickle of countries leaving the Crown continues unabated, the UK government loses all internal conflicts, and any old trade link has been left in the dust by Chinese, American, and European, activity in trade agreements. The Commonwealth barely even exists, at this point.
