CANZUK should be Britain’s post-Brexit bloc.

Nice idea, any reason why US is excluded given it’s part of the anglosphere?
Because they’re not in the commonwealth & don’t have the King as head of state, but I am open to the idea of including the US at some stage.

Agreed, but would ensure free movement is only available if you have been a citizen of those countries for a certain period of time.

I agree, see below.

Too dominant. They have the population of CANZUK on their own. And would expect the equivalent power over it. Moreover they already semi run these countries

Some sort of collaboration with with these countries, whilst in a more settled world, would open up exciting opportunities for UK with trade etc, I think we need as the “West” need to deal with the Islamic issue. We can not afford to open another free movement route for terrorists to enter UK

This is stupid it would suffer from the same flaws as European freedom of movement, i.e we would have no control over who other nations give citizenship to and thus our own border.
Any arbitrary restrictions over citizenship length invalidates the entire concept of citizenship, as the implication is they’re not a real citizen until they have been for x amount of years. In reality this would only apply to non-native replicating the two-tier society
No government would be able to justify this to their populations
Yes! This is great but we should also consider opening it up to the whole of the Common wealth and with a diplomatic invitation being made to the USA to put asside its immigration policy for Britain and the common wealth. This is a very nice thought.
This is a bad idea. I live in the USA and the kind of Brits who get green cards are the Brits America wants. Hard working skilled people and young healthy women who can have American babies. America doesn’t want single moms, people who can only earn low wages that need to be topped up with tax credits and anyone else who is a burden, sickly, low IQ or a mental case because they have their own people to fill these spots.
Immigration rules are not there to stop foreigners moving to the USA. Immigration exist to attract the foreigners they want while avoiding undesirable people from the same country. Desirable people can typically make it in their own country. The kind of people who take advantage of free movement are the people who look into the benefit system, low cost of living and any other advantages they can get without being expected to bring much to the table.
We don’t want striking bin men, striking train drivers, woke pen pushers or any other useless public servants moving here because we’re in the process of DOGEing these same people here. The British community would be just as hated as all other communities with high immigration because it would attract the people I mentiond above.
Don’t even get me started on my experience with the type of Americans you should avoid importing to the UK because I haven’t got all day. Border control exists in all countries for a reason and I’m an immigrant who supports it getting stricter to make all immigrants more like minded to the country they move to.
