CANZUK Union

Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

CANZUK is a campaign for a political union which includes free movement of citizens as well as trade union between the relevant countries. A potential alternative to the EU post Brexit.

How would you feel about this?

I'd love it. The Brexiteers wouldn't though.

I'd be happy with that.

I'd also be happy with FOM between the powerful, liberal, western democracies, but not the US

UK
Canada
Aus
NZ
France
Germany
Holland
Spain

Maybe the Scandies too.

I'd love it. The Brexiteers wouldn't though.

Of course they would. The main problem with FOM is asymmetrical migration.

I found out about this group not long ago. I'd love it but doubt it'll ever be workable.

Not quite as the CoN also has a load of members from Africa and the Carribean.

Yes but a more formal and practical agreement (trade)... free movement is a biggy aswell, feels like your statement sees that as no big deal?

We would be to Canada, Aus and NZ what we think Eastern Europe is to us.

This is much bigger deal in Canada and New Zealand than it is here and in Aus, why not?

I knar. What I meant was surely we already have very strong political / economical ties with the Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis

Very possibly

id be game as a badger for this. we share more in common with these countries than any other, id like the scandinavian countries to be involved but unfortunately it would likely be used as a backdoor into the UK by anyone who lands in Europe.

Oh right. Aye we do. Integrated intelligence networks, very close military ties. I believe British legal precedent is even used in Aus for cases without precedent in Aus

No mate on the contrary, its a massive deal and a very interesting one

 

[Frijj]

Very possibly

Definitely. Our scratters would go there for better coin.

I'm glad to hear it, where have you seen this though?
And because we are a decaying nation with whom Canada would be well advised to stay away from, and because we sold our relationship with the Commonwealth in the 70s to be closer to France and Germany- which in hindsight was a calamitous decision.

Need a better name sounds like some sort of thrush cream

Aye, me
