    Rather depends what a CANZUK 'union' involves.
    I have never heard it considered as anything but a trade, diplomacy and defence union.
    No ever closer union, no harmonisation of social and employment policy, no political union. Nothing beyond treaty based intergovernmentalism. No sign of supranationalism in sight.
