How is CANZUK different to the European Union?

A diplomatic alliance between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom (CANZUK) would implement security protocols for travel and migration, and would not implement a centralized government, currency or court system.

i was thinking about some kind of alliance between our people after we voted for brexit, i went online to see if anyone else had the same idea only to find that high level people have been talking about this for literally years. this cant happen soon enough. we leave the EU (in the UK we always saw it as kind of a business deal, we never really liked them anyway) on dec 31st 2020, then were free!
for the last few decades the eu (a few un-elected talking heads in brussels) have been forcing us to accept their mass immigration policies on us, their weird socialist policies that get people killed and they have been actively eroding our beautiful british culture (and you cant complain, because that makes you racist, apparently). sorry, but i actually like my country, i like my people, i like my culture, and i dont feel guilty at all for being white (seriously, wtf??). we should be strengthening our bonds, not weakening them. every other country is encouraged to preserve their culture, its brave...or something, but were not allowed? the greatest tribe that ever lived isnt allowed to preserve itself?
i know this will sound a bit fancyful, but can you imagine all our nations (including the US) under one flag? we could create another dynasty that would last for hundreds of years (or more).
to be clear, im not talking about colonisation, or invasions of other peoples lands, and im not talking about "whites only" either. our culture is for anyone that likes our base policies of freedom of speech, freedom of expression and liberty.

So basically, travel and security protocols would mean unfettered entrance to Brits and Canadians, not t o the Commonwealth citizens, not to those in Asia where Australia does the bulk of its business and its diplomacy and not to the EU which accounts for a third of the nation's business? So what's in it for Australia? A return to a British Empire which left Australia abandoned in WW2? A return to trade where Britain made the rules? Guaranteed access to Public School boys with nice accents to show how superior they are?

Great Idea but I would also add the world's largest democracy, India, into the mix.
