] Date Posted: 13:20:33 01/07/05 Fri In reply to: Andrew(Canada) 's message, "possible names for the FC..." on 00:39:44 01/07/05 Fri I agree with Ed that it is not a good idea to start excluding republicans (a good proportion of the Australian population) by insisting on a monarchist name. The idea is surely to convince people to get on board with the federation idea, not to push them away. It would also be hard to argue that "United States of America" and "United Kingdom" have any more pizazz than does "Federal Commonwealth", but the countries seem to have done alright without it. Until the idea of the federation actually shows some sign of catching on, I think we can safely leave it with a working title such as FC or CANZUK. The marketing whizzes can be called in at a later date. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:35:34 01/07/05 Fri "The Kingdom of the United Commonwealth. tell me what you guys think?(i realise you've probably talked about this before, but i thought I'd through this out there)." That name only appeals to monarchists, and sounds a bit old fashioned... I like federal commonwealth, it's more open. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:47:42 01/07/05 Fri I quite agree. I am a staunch monarchist myself, but a good 35-40% of people in CANZUK are not. No need to antagonise the blighters. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:11:27 01/07/05 Fri The European Union calls itself "Europe", despite the fact that the name also refers to a continent. The United States of America call themselves "America", despite the fact that the name also applies to two whole continents. We could simply call ourselves "the Commonwealth" and let people suffer mild confusion when someone actually refers to the current organisation. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:13:02 01/07/05 Fri "The European Union calls itself "Europe", despite the fact that the name also refers to a continent." And the English call Cornwall the "west country" in their Grosse Reich. Freedom for Cornwall! Freedom for all subjugated nations in the English empire! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:05:36 01/07/05 Fri Any sensible President would have done the same thing: the parliament was deadlocked, and the G-G was right to give the electors the chance to choose. This is democracy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
