CANZUK would have no political union component so how can you maintain the EU and especially the British Empire comparison?
We are not getting the Empire band back together. I know modern conservatives have lost the plot but we can't turn back time like that. CANZUK as popularly described is a complete fantasy.
The reality is as sovereign nations trying to have influence in our own regions, often with countries with their own experiences of colonialism, any signs of subservience to an ex-colonial power is far more of a hindrance than a help.
I do support stronger ties between Canada, Australia and NZ though.
