    UKIP form their own EU

    Yep, its all a smokescreen. They don't like Europeans but they do like being the lord and master hence the Commonwealth Unification Movement which is seen as a possible alternative to the European Union and has gained minor awareness due to the escalation of the European sovereign-debt crisis. The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) seeks to withdraw from the EU and strengthen ties between Britain and the Commonwealth, which would include the negotiation of a Commonwealth Free Trade Area. The policy of stronger relations with the Commonwealth is also supported by many leading activists in the British Conservative Party, the current main government party. Using the European Union as a template, a movement in some member states seeks to establish a Commonwealth Union (CU) through the creation of a free trade area, visa-free travel area, common foreign policy, and representation at the United Nations and Group of 20.

    I knew it all along, the UKIP wants to go back to the 50's and is run by "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells", "An Englishman's Home Is His Castle" and "Jolly Hockeysticks"
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      seems sensible if we throw EU out of the pram and they retaliate having an established market to turn to especially one growing like topsy (like Africa is funded by Chinese money buying their mineral rights) is a good idea.

      As I have always said the common market is a good idea. The United States of Europe is a bad idea.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Brilliant idea. I vote for some sort of union with Canada, Australia and NZ in a heartbeat. Language, culture and legal systems are all similar having their roots in Britain. Lots of family connections between the countries. India would be the tricky one to fit in. But having stabbed the rest of the Commonwealth in the back when we joined the EU would they be interested?

        The only downside being the flood of people exiting Britain for Canada, Australia and New Zealand!

        The alternative being a 'union' of the UK with Bulgaria and Roumania. What fantasist would propose that?

          Still get loads of Johnny Foreigner (and there's 53 countries in the Commonwealth although probably only 16 in the Realm

          One of the first acts of a Realm Council should be to establish a common citizenship (“Realm Citizen”) to run alongside existing national citizenships. This would be a similar concept to EU or Commonwealth Citizenship. All citizens of realms whose countries were full members of the Union would automatically receive Realm Citizenship, and the Realm Council would approve all laws relating to that status, which would then have to be fully recognised and enforced across all Union territories.

          All Realm Citizens would be granted full rights of movement, residence and employment across the Union. Passport controls could remain in place where judged appropriate.

            You realise that there's also Nigeria, Uganda, Pakistan, Bangladesh, amongst others.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              Best to keep it primarily to the English speaking countries. The rest can have associate membership if they want it.

              Maybe let the Netherlands join too - just to spite the EU. English speaking, the Dutch gave us our Bill of Rights and a royal connection with King William III.

                Still sounding very good to me.

                    David Cameron and Nigel Farage are on the terrace of the House of Commons having a drink, it's sunny but gusty and the wind blows David's hat off his head and in to the river.

                    "Don't worry David," says Nigel, "I'll get it!" and he jumps over the wall and in to the river.

                    However there is no splash. David peers over the wall and to his surprise sees Nigel walking on water. Nigel strolls across the surface of the Thames picks up David's hat and takes it back to him in front of the entire House of Commons press lobby.

                    The next day the headlines read: "Nigel Farage Can't Swim!"
