Maybe the UK could reach back and retro-actively do much the same with the rest of the 'old empire'.

Britain is expected to seize full administrative control of the Turks and Caicos Islands next week after a corruption probe into the governance of the small Caribbean territory.
The Foreign Office announced plans today to suspend the constitution on the idyllic islands situated to the east of Cuba for two years.
Gordon Wetherell, the British Governor, broadcast a message across the islands announcing that a proposal had been drafted in London to transfer the authority of the local government ministers into his hands.
He blamed “clear signs of political amorality and immaturity and general administrative incompetence” for the move which is likely to suspend the democratic administration of the territory until the next scheduled election in 2011.
