Many of you will have been following the stories on the various news programmes about the Commonwealth Games. This major event is about to start in India yet nothing is ready for the thousands of participating athletes. A bridge collapsed the other day at the venue injuring many and part of a roof collapsed yesterday. Athletes are already arriving into this chaos, although some major athletes have pulled out completely.
But isnt this symbolic of the Commonwealth as a whole, operational chaos, yet some among us offer it up as an alternative and viable trading partner as they push for us to quit the European Union.
Nobody in their right economic mind would see the Commonwealth as a realistic or stable trading partner, yet it is often spouted, as some people grapple in desperation for reasons to exit the EU. An occasional trading partner yes, but a full time reliable trading partner as we try to secure future economic growth to protect jobs, most definitely not.
Most of the countries of the commonwealth seem to rely on the theory of chaos. These Indian Games are an indication of how these countries work and although there may be rich pickings for traders in some areas, they are neither sustainable nor reliable.
