Sounds like a wonderful idea at first, but they are calling for four Commonwealth countries to have more rights than the others. Kids want travel, fall in love and live where they choose - fine - but if the love of your life comes from another Commonwealth country then tough shit for you. Does this also mean that the UK could send unwanted migrants to NZ, Canada, Australia ?

From their website it sounds just a little bit exclusive, don't you think ?

Why are there only four countries included in the proposed mobility zone?

The four countries we propose to be apart of the mobility zone are the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Each share the same language, the same Westminster parliamentary system, the same respect for common-law and the same Head of State.

In addition, they are highly economically developed countries, with sustainable economic growth, positive human rights records and a shared historical and cultural bond through a democratic monarchy.

Anyway, it's just a petition on change org that expired last month.
