Semantics. Honestly that is almost as bad as people picking out grammar mistakes, completely unnecessary.
I was not even referring to an "official treaty" in this case. I was talking about the similarity in culture, government structure and a number of other things, between Australia and England.
I don't want to break from the commonwealth because we will just become a mini America. I don't want stupid electoral campaign's like they have in America. I don't want to spell colour, "color". I like our ABC channel that plays mostly BBC shows. I prefer our system of government over the obvious alternative, America's.
And here:
Alliance: correspondence in basic characteristics; affinity: the alliance between logic and metaphysics.
