UK 51st State?

Why not? If the US is so concerned with the UK being sidelined by the EU if it goes it alone we could join the Union as we have far more in common with they across the Atlantic than we do our strange alien neighbours of Europe who seem intent on socializing themselves to death and taking us with them in their death spiral. As the great liberal European death wish plays itself out we should be looking towards the US despite the Obama blip aberration.Suddenly at such a prospect the Left would start intoning about the need for independence and not being shackled to a super power.Never underestimate Left hypocrisy and illogic.But yes, I think it would be a very good idea.
