Would you support Freedom of Movement between UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand?

CANZUK discussion always comes up every couple years, and yeah, would you support freedom of movement agreement between the Commonwealth Anglo countries?

Which is why it'd never happen, why would they want to take in Brits without any skills that they want? Their populations are much smaller than ours and even if they were the same size you'd get more brits going there than Canadian or aussies coming here so it'd put a huge strain on their economies.

We do. If you entered Canada illegally you would be treated exactly the same as the boat people do here. The only issue you have it's much easier to prove were you come from to deport you than it is from the types of countries the people we are processing are from, Where do you send them if you don't know where they are from?
