God Save The Queen.

And give thanks for social democracy under Her Majesty on at least three continents.

    Apart from some Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail readers - who cares?

    If these people have social democracy then it is due to their ballots and will - not some venerable old lady living in London.

    You need to read this blog more. And something else, soon enough.

    It was always the Radical Right that wanted to withdraw from the Commonwealth, and still does. The Commonwealth was very much a Labour cause, when there was a Labour.

    No the Commonwealth was created by Labour as a substitute for an Empire it was dismantling but did not wish to prick the imperial national ego.

    "the Commonwealth was created by Labour"

    Quite.

    Well, not quite. But close enough, for the present purpose.
