It probably comes down to the will of the people, but as long as they are neighbors they will remain related to whatever extent, and will ultimately have to deal with each other.

What is your point?
I certainly agree with Cenél nGabraín, Britain is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic ( racial) state, with a shameful imperialistic past, I don't see it how a black woman couldn't be British as it's not an ehtnic or national identity.
Cultural parrarels, in a way yes, they are neighbours anyway, but still, what does that proove? You could draw cultural parralels between nations in Yugoslavia as well, but that doesn't change the fact that Yugoslavia was an artificial and multi-ethnic state.
Who advocated complete isolationism?

"The two-party-system and the artificial division between left and right is especially malign because it confines people into mental prisons, from which they are almost not able to get out. Even in a one-party-system it is mentally easier to be "in the opposition", "against the system". In the two-party-system (which is in fact one-party-system as well), on the other hand, if the left is currently in the office and you are opposed to the system, it is automatically assumed that you are a "rightist", ie. supporter of the party of the right. And vice versa. Most people refuse to see that the two major parties are in fact one and the same party. Thus the liberal democracy, especially in its venomous two-party variety, is the most successful system of totalitarian manipulation ever invented. Each of the two parties usually has a very dedicated voting herd, needless to say."
