Create a Commonwealth Free Trade Zone 53 States POP:2.4billion GDP:$14trillion

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Brexit, requires an alternative to the EU. A Commonwealth Free Trade Zone would be better than the EU since 50% of the population of the Commonwealth are under 30 and the GDP is rapidly growing.

This would make 1/3 of the world richer, and benefit the entire world.

The main barriers are now gone. The UK is leaving the EU and able to set its own tariffs. The UK is once again wealthy and a large importer, and India has a new government that is open to trade. The UK has an imperative to create a replacement to the EU, and is in a humble position needing this to happen.

India has a strategy of Make in India, with Africa, Australia and Canada exporting the natural resources that India needs to convert into goods.

London can provide the required finance
