I can't believe anyone could say they have a great fondness for the British Empire.
To my mind that just shows the whitewashing that has gone in British minds following WW2. Most British people have the idea that theirs was a benevolent empire and they uplifted the native people and got rid of their 'uncivilised' ways
That said, there was a look at moving to an imperial parliament, but ultimately the fact that India has a vastly greater population would meant it would always have greater sway the UK and as such it was a no go.
