politicskid21,

OK Kiddo, lets give you credit for genuine interest in this topic.

You ask << Hey what is the current relations between the U.K and Australia, is it diminishing or is it being strengthened. >>

I guess we can only look at the changes that might have occurred since a change of government in the UK. We also need to remind ourselves that this is now a coalition between Conservatives (Cameron) and Clegg (Liberal). Neither is ideologically close to our equivalents.

Economics: The UK is in deep doo doo. Much like the rest of the EU Member States, its national debt is growing and productivity is in decline. It lost much industrial capacity overseas over the last ten years and built services based economy. The GFC kicked that into touch so austerity arrived with a bang. The UK, like EU states, also built colossal alternative energy infrastructure based upon cheap EU “money in circulation” which they also have to pay back in exchange for very little energy.

Trade: Cameron’s’ first trade mission, which he lead personally, included India, China, SE Asia and Australia. We could read from this that he is looking for trade options outside the EU, much to the chagrin of Clegg.

IMHO, we will see strengthening relations with the UK for the reasons stated above.

<< Finally what is the relations between USA and the U.K?>>

First answer, who cares? Second answer, not much change really. They will continue to hold each other very tight by the painful bits, smile at each other and say “we are not going to hurt each other are we?”

Does that help Kiddo?
