@kibcol1049 The Commonwealth could make an interesting trading bloc, if the Global South members participated as fully-equal partners with the rich members.
We'd need to avoid a British Empire v.2, with the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand having special status and making most of the decisions.

@voxofgod the Commonwealth doesn't want the USA, that's not going to happen. Also, I'm kinda of getting the impression you think it's a bit like the EU? Commonwealth is basically just the old British colonies kinda maintaining some cultural (and sometimes head of state) ties after independence. In practice it just means some countries like Canada and Australia still have the UK monarch as a powerless head of state. We don't get freedom of movement like the EU gets. I don't think we even get special visa conditions.
In practical terms, being a member of the Commonwealth means your country gets to take part in the Commonwealth games. And maybe extra diplomatic help in other Commonwealth countries if you don't have an embassy there. Um. That's it afaik 
Btw New Zealand is not disability friendly for immigration. There was a big story a few years ago where a British man was offered a high paying job there and was told he can take his wife and older child, but his disabled daughter was not given residency.
When trying to find the article, I found these:

#Trump weighs in on report King Charles will offer U.S. membership to British #Commonwealth: ‘Sounds good!’ - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-commonwealth-offer-us-member-b2719470.html this had better be a joke, or there will be riots in the UK streets...

Donald Trump said, the United States, could join the Commonwealth of Great Britain.
Who had that on their bingo card?

'Donald #Trump suggested that the #US could join the #British #Commonwealth on Friday in a post to #TruthSocial, his #socialMedia platform.
The president shared an article from British #tabloid #TheSun reporting that #KingCharlesIII was making a "secret offer" to the #WhiteHouse, and that plans are in process for the #USA to become an associate member of the international organization.
"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report'

The Independent · Trump weighs in on report King Charles will offer U.S. commonwealth membership
"Nearly 250 years after America declared independence from Great Britain, President Donald #Trump suggested he was open to taking a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy after a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the #Commonwealth of Nations."
This timeline is so stupid.
Better than him declaring war on anyone else though, I guess.

The Commonwealth should start putting heavy pressure on despotic Murder Modi, including the real threat of removal from the Commonwealth.
Either we stand united against these fucking fascists and fight hard, or we lose.
Who loves freedom! Lets all join together then so we can collectively protect and enjoy freedom. Mexico should be invited along with some other countries like Japan and South Korea that enshrine democratic values (India will have to make big changes first).
EU + Commonwealth + Mexico + Japan + South Korea = New World Order

@Sarahp #Canada and the rest of the #Commonwealth should join the #EU on this. Hit the US oligarchy back where it costs them the most and benefits us the most.
Well, #Canada is still part of a European, #UK-based #Commonwealth, for one thing.
Then, there is #CETA. And #NATO.
Maybe #EuropeanUnion might not be an appropriate term anymore, maybe #TransatlanticUnion would be more appropriate?
In fact, I favor #CEUM, for the time being.
An #FTA, similar, to how the #EuropeanCommunity got started, back in the day.
I am a #hillbilly. From #Appalachia. And here’s the elegy for #rural localities from the folks they elected.
As much as $1 out of every $5 of public budgets in #rural #virginia counties comes from…taking money from rich states outside VA and sending it through the #federal gummint to #rural localities. More pronounced after 2020.
Common weal in the #commonwealth.
Aka wealth redistribution.
Aka the S word.
You’re welcome, y’all.
“Have you EVER said thank you (JD)?!?!?”

Royaler Friedensstifter: Gerät König Charles III. zwischen die Fronten?
Am Commonwealth Day steht König Charles III. als Oberhaupt des Staatenbundes im Fokus. Zuletzt nutzte die britische Regierung ihn gleich mehrfach als diplomatischen Joker. Für Charles ein Drahtseilakt. Von Mareike Aden.
