Alex Deane: How to mark Commonwealth Day

Today is Commonwealth Day - when we mark the significance of our tremendous family of nations. The Queen has spoken of the importance of Commonwealth citizenship. I have two humble suggestions as to how this might be improved:

• We should have a Commonwealth queue at airports instead of an EU queue. (I declare an interest: this would benefit my wife, who is Australian.)
• Commonwealth countries should allow citizens from other Commonwealth countries to vote in their elections. Some currently do, but not all. (I declare a debt: I stole this idea from Oliver Cooper.)

That's just for starters - you'll have your own ideas, and I'd love to hear them. (Some people will inevitably argue that either or both of the ones I've suggested have complex legal backgrounds: but let's consider the principle before the practical problems.)

In any case, wherever you are, I wish you a very happy Commonwealth Day.
