I guess you're just forgetting the part where the US was 'founded' directly out of secession from Britain? All in the name of what?
The US is called the "FREE WORLD". Like I said, once you open your borders with Mexico and let another country like Canada have a say in your laws, then you can patronise the UK on staying in the EU.
Well we have 50 states that routinely conduct a peaceful revolt of the commander in chief of our military every 4 years. We reaffirm or repace our sub-state members every 2 years with no armed revolution or districts threatening to revolt and leave the union or their state. In those same periods depending on the state we reaffirm or instate a new Representative for our entire state.
I suppose the concept maybe alien to you. But I'm pretty sure you adopted something similar after we did, only on a much smaller scale seeing as how your nation is very small and thus far easier to govern. But I'm assured that is of no consequence since you have an opinion!
I've heard these are very important. Facts become rendered as mere wax once waylaid by the slightest flame in subtle presence of your temperament. If you are set in your ways, then declare that you are a missionary for you cause and the cause of the Queen. Otherwise drop such pretense as an objective debtor, should you ever have trifled with the title, it is very unbecoming of any man, more so an English man.
