We also need allies with regard to defence. The presence of American bases on our land discourages offence against us by others.
Be realistic.
The Americans are friends of nobody but themselves and their business interests
As for the Commonwealth, a small number of commonwealth countries are potentially good relations but the Commonwealth per se is of no use to us whatsoever.
As for American bases, they serve nothing of value to us but make us a target WHEN some country gets so pissed off with the US they decide that have had enough of Pax America and decide to do something about it.
