As an Australian I wish we’d negotiate to join the EU. Philosophically we have more in common with the EU then America and together is better.
But we cant even join with New Zealand and od not ne suporsed if the EU didnt want us, I’d not want us, though we do all seem to mostly hate immigrants so we have that in common :(
This as an Australia, I’d be happy to see Australia aak fir EU entry.
Or we could start a Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ zone akin to the EU.
