Something I thought about over ten years ago, and recently pondered.

Should America, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and possibly South Africa unite as THE UNION OF ANGLICA?

What about just America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand?

What would be the pro's and the cons?

The non-English speaking world often see's the English speaking world as a bloc anyway.

It was the TRAIN video clip (of all things) that reignited this question for me. I assumed it to be shot in California. It had a US, west coast feel and look to it.

It was shot in Australia, in Sydney, my home town.

If the cultures are so similar, no more different than say El Paso culture to Boston culture. Would it be impossible?

It would mean Australians could actually vote for or against a person that impacts their lives incredibly - The US president.

Then again maybe not. The countries have pronounced differences also. Healthcare and welfare for starters. (The US is frightening in that regard)

I don't know.

So I'm asking some of you guys.

What do you think?
