The Commonwealth is renowned as a strong and effective group of nations that does many good things for the world and themselves. However, they lack many powers to really do things, such as launch of co-operative military interventions. With greater powers, and more effectiveness, the organisation could really make a name for itself and not just include nations of the former British Empire.
It is proposed that the Commonwealth should be given greater powers to deal with world problems, in similar ways as NATO and the UN.
