While you make some good points, The british just renamed their the "commonwealth". is pretty inaccurate.

The Commonwealth includes countries like Australia, Canada and India. Britian doesn't dominate them.

There are two Australian examples that make me mad every time I think of them:

- U.K. nuclear testing

- the removal of Gough Whitlam

The Gough Whitlam thing was Australian domestic politics, and the palace only provided advice.

Yes it is crazy we still aren't a republic, but I think the dismissal was our own disfunction.
