Please post in this question all tag synonyms which you think should be combined. Having too many ways to refer to a given topic is just confusing, and it fragments things.
Also us -> united-states
Maybe parliament <-> parliamentary (not sure which way to go)

1There is also a misspelled tag that should probably be removed. – Steve Melnikoff Jan 3 '13 at 18:03

See meta.politics.stackexchange.com/q/35/78 for the question of USA. Otherwise, vote for the other two. – PearsonArtPhoto Dec 5 '12 at 23:37
temporal-vacancy to temporary-vacancy
...which is what I assume the author meant -- although I'm not sure that this deserves a tag at all.

I'd say the other way around as united states is still an abbreviation but USA is more specific and is a full abbreviation. – UKB Dec 5 '12 at 23:32

See meta.politics.stackexchange.com/q/35/78 for this specific question. – PearsonArtPhoto Dec 5 '12 at 23:37
I know that Great Britain and the United Kingdom are technically not the same thing, but they're used interchangeably in practice.
-
They're technically different, but [uk] is probably the better tag in practice. Looking through the questions currently tagged [britain], most of them seem to be about the UK as a whole. – TRiG Feb 3 '14 at 19:05
Merge economy, economics, and economic policy into economics.
commonwealth -> commonwealth-of-nations
british-commonwealth -> commonwealth-of-nations

4commonwealth can easily be a tag on its own. There are many of them out there, even in the US. It is a style of community and governance. – Kevin Peno Dec 6 '12 at 22:06

2"commonwealth" and "british-commonwealth" are distinct, as @KevinPeno says - and "british-commonwealth" is the more common name for that institution. – user97 Dec 7 '12 at 0:15

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations - 'The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and formerly known as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organisation of 54 independent member states.' It is bigger than the EU, it is just like saying US is interchangeable. United States could refer to some nations who decided to work together (They are then united states) or the united Mexican states. – UKB Dec 7 '12 at 16:01

the Commonwealth is still different than the concept of a commonwealth nation. I agree with your other merge though. – Kevin Peno Dec 7 '12 at 21:41
I suggested election <- electoral and polling <- opinion-polling. Feel free to vote them up to approval.
