    What is the point of the British Commonwealth? What actual purpose does it serve these days?

    Question #55794. Asked by chris42. (Mar 09 05 7:00 AM)

    		The Commonwealth of Nations pointedly dropped the "British" references in 1946.

    These days, it mainly serves to provide a forum for cultural exchange between countries that have little in common save for historical ties to Britain, and some of the institutions that accompany that heritage (such as English as a widely spoken language, use of the common law legal system etc).
