Gravitas: The Games are over for the Commonwealth

Canada's Alberta has cancelled its bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth games. This comes weeks after Australia's Victoria withdrew its bid to host the 2026 games. Why should countries sponsor the nonsensical hangover of British Imperialism? The Commonwealth games are as stale as yesterday's cucumber sandwich. Time for India to dump the Commonwealth?

The state of Victoria is in more debt than all the other Australian states combined.

No wonder few days ago I saw an article headline stating Africa is now ready to hosts commonwealth games because no one want to host it.

It all make sense now. It is now time of so-called anglophone African countries to get rid of this colonial York and colonial hangover and completely withdraw from this colonial body which is an extension of colonialism. Anglophone countries should take a page from francophone countries in Africa that are kicking out French out of their countries.

Call it something else than but still keep the competition. It’s a good competition and I enjoyed meeting fellow competitors from around the world at these events.

The commonwealth games have a much better atmosphere than the Olympics. Also, a constitutional monarchy is a better form of constitution than a republic, which are prone to instability and corruption. It would be sad if there were no more commonwealth games. But I suppose supporters of republics would prefer to live under a Putin or a Mugabe
