“think again globally and realistically !
let them to be free by their self-determination rights !
let them transfer to self-determination from serf-determination !”

Are you on drugs? or just insane..?

Let them be free...? The commonwealth gives the UK no power over any of the nations. Any nation is free to leave at any time...

“just in theory !....not in practice !”

So what you're saying is that the UK controlls all of the nations in the commonwealth..?

What are you on gdr? you're talking about nations like Canada, Australia etc, how independant does a nation have to demonstrate itself to be? must they burn a union jack every day perhaps?

Clearly the Argentineans have absolutely no idea how the Commonwealth & the Westminster system works. that still does not stop them posting ridiculous remarks though. how can we interact with these people? l admit, l don't know. l think it best that we just ignore them.
and as for you, gdr@1&3. you've tied yourself in knots, poor lad. one country, Mozambique, has actually joined the British Commonwealth despite its Portuguese heritage.
