The UK should start talks on forming a CANZUK union

I would like for the UK to engage in talks with Canada, New Zealand and Australia on forming a CANZUK union. I believe this would make for a good alternative to the EU, increasing trade, freedom of movement and to create more economic growth within the UK, which at the moment is a necessity.

The UK Government has no plans to establish a ‘CANZUK’ union. The UK already collaborates closely with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand through groupings such as the Commonwealth, Five Eyes, NATO, the G7 and the G20 as well as bilaterally with each country. We are close partners on the full range of international and foreign policy issues, on areas as diverse as national security, economic resilience, trade, health, and climate.

All three nations are priority trade partners for the UK. The UK’s first Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) were signed with Australia and New Zealand. All three are also fellow members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

We deeply value our close relationship with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and we will continue our close collaboration with all three partners.
