That's the way to do it.....

Watching the opening day of the Commonwealth Games, it occurred to me that the Commonwealth is the ideal exemplar for multi-culture, multi-faith interdependence. The Americans don't seem to be able to grasp the concept that others may legitimately have different views and values to their own. The EU are having difficulty with the idea of admitting a Muslim state - Turkey. But the Commonwealth has a wide spread of beliefs and viewpoints, and although it may creak at the seams sometimes, and be seen by many as dominated by Western Christian values, it does survive and continues to grow in stature. So the question is - what are the Commonwealth doing to export their blueprint to the rest of the world?
