Not that it really means anything unless someone is foolish enough to believe that most members of the Commonwealth would have wanted to be in some sort of stronger union with the UK. And given how distant most were, and how poor most were, how much trade could there have been? Not to mention the protectionist biases of most of the Commonwealth nations.

This is always the line supporters of any policy take when things don't turn out as predicted: blame the opposition. I can remember when lots of Brexit supporters here were claiming that Germany would back down because it sold so many autos to the UK. And of course there were the rosy predictions of Brexiters such as Michael Gove who claimed that free trade with the UK would survive Brexit. The EU was always very clear about the lines it drew and why it drew those lines: namely it would make no sense to give the UK the benefits so many Brexiters expected without paying for them. What sense wou

Didn't North Korea continue to develop newer and more formidable missiles?

Because if there's one thing the current Commander-in-Chief is all about, it's standing up to the Russians?

Nonsense. The figures to consult are excess mortality figures. Over and over again they show quite the reverse.

Honorable people back up their claims. And the mods really don't like it when you ask other people to do your homework.

No, it's the UK govt reneging on its treaty obligations that is at fault.

Actually, the UK is a member of the Commonwealth. The pre-eminent member.

Because nothing makes as much sense as setting up trade relations with mostly poor and distant nations. And what makes you think that those nations would want have wanted to have free trade with the UK back when? Ridiculous.

Actually, last time I checked it was 34.

Seriously you weren't aware of this? Where do you get your news from? Government admits new Brexit bill 'will break international law' The government has admitted that its plan to reinterpret the special Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland will break international law. The Northern Ireland secretary, Brandon Lewis, astonished backbenchers when he told the House of Commons: “Yes, this does break international law in a very specific and limited way.
