I have been getting questions on CANZUK and what is my view as I have put up a few articles on the subject. At this stage, I think it is an interesting idea, BUT I am neither for nor against it.
If it stays a trade block, freedom of movement and working etc and with maybe a bit of security and armed forces thrown in the mix I would be okay with it. However if it went full political union like the EU then no... most definitely not.
