The Johnson move will either force a two-tier Europe: a common market for all but political integration only for those who want it, or it will advance some sort of quasi-Anglospheric co-operation, led by the United States, but not subordinating other countries to it. The United States will not concede any sovereignty to anyone, and will not demand any from other countries, as has been demonstrated in the Canada-U.S. free trade regime.His view of "Anglospheric" includes:
The old Dominions, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Singapore and to some extent India and South Africa, and more particularly, on a closer association with the United States.My guess: India and South Africa are too preoccupied with their own internal issues - Hindu and African identity respectively plus anti-colonialism - to be much interested in an Anglo-American enterprise.
Black believes Singapore doesn't have this issue. Mr. Lee, its 1965 'designer', decided Singaporeans would become "Europeans with Asian faces." Channeling Switzerland has served them very well.
