Didn't realize CANZUK was even a thing until today. Would a stronger business, trade, and overall political relationship between a few of the Commonwealth Nations be seen as a good thing for the UK with Brexit? |
Brexit = we dont want anyone telling us what to do!
"CANZUK is an acronym for the theoretical political and economic union of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom as part of an international body similar in scope to the former European Economic Community. This includes increased trade, foreign policy co-operation, military co-operation and mobility of citizens between the four states." - Wikipedia
So working with the EU isnt something the UK wants..... but its okay joining another smaller version seemingly heading the same direction as the EU? by think-tanks.
"Canada, Australia and New Zealand are former settler colonies of the British Empire where people of British ethnic origin came to constitute the majority of the population." - Wikipedia
Okay... so the reason it wants it.... is because in the great old days of the British Empire! things where great, britain ruled the waves and the world.
What are the chances that the UK as the old rulers, won't want "special privilages" like they did in the EU? to join Canzuk? Will CANZUK be the future scapegoat by UK politicans? and then a Brexit 2.0 (with Canzuk) (okay Im jumping too far ahead here).
Thats a hellva spread out empire though.
Canada + Austalia + UK is basically 3 points as far away from each other, on the planet as humanly possible.
Because that makes for fantastic and easy trade.
Why trade with nearby neighbors, when you can travel half way around the world, to do the same?
