THE COMMONWEALTH
The Russian leader, Stalin, is supposed to have asked how many divisions the Pope had Like the Roman Catholic Church, the British Commonwealth does not operate in the realms of realpolitik It is closer, perhaps, to the world of Lewis Carroll than to that of Bismarck As an idea, the Commonwealth dates from the year of Queen Elizabeth’s birth, 1926 It was to be an association of “autonomous communities within the Empire”, unified in one respect only: by their allegiance to the sovereign as the head of state Even this requirement was dropped in 1949 when India asked to remain a member of the Commonwealth even though, as a newly-independent republic, it had ended its allegiance to the crown Still, even today, Elizabeth is Queen not only of the United Kingdom, but of 17 other countries as well Of the other nation states in the Commonwealth, 26 are republics which recognize her only as head of the Commonwealth, and the other five (Brunei, Lesotho, Malaysia, Tonga and Swaziland) have monarchs of their own The 49 countries have a population of around one billion
(5)should be accepted with affection and respect by the newly independent sovereign states The reason lies in the status the Commonwealth offers, and in the framework it provides for useful work to be done It is remarkable, for example, that all Commonwealth countries, without exception, gave Britain moral support during the Falklands crisis
The Commonwealth has seen much disunity as well, and a number of countries have ceased to be members, usually for political reasons In 1948, Palestine became Israel In 1949, the Republic of Ireland, neutral during the ’39-’45 war, also left In 1972, after war with India, and the creation of Bangladesh, Pakistan also departed But the most significant departure has been that of South Africa, in 1961
The key issue of the Commonwealth is, of course, race, and in particular hostility to racism as practiced by white people For the past 15 years the focus of attention has been upon South Africa, especially upon the severing of sporting links with that country The refusal of the former Thatcher government to impose economic sanctions on the apartheid-ridden country has caused tension not only between Britain and other Commonwealth countries, but also between the Queen and her Prime Minister
The Queen has to remain above all the issues, all the arguments That she does so is one of the wonders of modern politics The very looseness of the Commonwealth may be its greatest virtue, given the number of one-party states, military dictatorships, and personal regimes within it Each member takes or gives what the realpolitik of its own government requires Through the Commonwealth, for example, Canada has attained a degree of influence among Third World countries which otherwise would never have been possible But the Commonwealth is also limited: for military help in a domestic crisis, Grenada had to turn to the United States
Still, Alice in Wonderland or not, a two-meter high portrait of the Queen does hang outside the entrance to Zimbabwe’s Senate An official explained: “She’s not there because we love the royal family, but because she is the head of the Commonwealth.” It’s a matter of independence plus
Question 30: Why is the Commonwealth compared to the Catholic Church? A It is like a fairy story
(6)C It is concerned with influence rather than political power D It is a worldwide organization
Question 31: How did relations between the British government and other Commonwealth members become strained?
A It cut aid to developing nations B It invaded the Falklands
C It joined the EU D It continued to trade with South Africa
Question 32: By what criteria can member states of the Commonwealth be recognized? A They recognize the Queen as Head of State B They are members of the Commonwealth C English is their official language D They are former colonies
Question 33: Why is it necessary for members of the Commonwealth to be tolerant of each other?
A Communication is not always easy B They have various political systems C They have language problems D Some of them are racist
Question 34: What is the main limitation of the Commonwealth? A It has no standing army
B Agreement is difficult
C It will not intervene directly in a member’s domestic affairs D It cannot compete with American realpolitik
