The Queen urged Americans to write in her name on Election Day, after which the transition to British rule could begin “with a minimum of bother.”

Not sure really...I mean on one hand it would be nice to expand the empire...but on the other hand, that debt, that whole gun thing, the coming fracture between left and right political wings which seems set to tear the nation asunder...

Probably more trouble than it's worth...might be best to stick with Canada. It's colder but safer.

Just what we need to unite the country and finish driving the Lobsterbacks off of our continent.

No no no...If the American's get hooked on tea the price of tea will rocket! No I will not stand for that, I like a nice cup of tea and will not pay though the roof for a cuppa.

Too late. You've been sending your Bigelow and Twinnings and PJ Tips over here for years!

All your tea are belong to us!

I believe you tried that on at least two occasions via Canada but matters didn't go to plan all that much

No they certainly didn't! We wasted good troops and critical assets in ill conceived expansionist invasions that were contrary to the self defensive reasons we held for fighting those wars.

Simple truth is I doubt either country could afford to keep one another.
