I just posted a blog post about the problems with some Brexit proponents in the United Kingdom for a liberalized migration zone including only the ... right Commonwealth countries. (Why include New Zealand and not Jamaica, you might wonder?)

The Commonwealth cannot a substitute for the European Union. At one point, as recently as a half-century ago, it might have been. It's imaginable that, faced with the choice between Europe and the Commonwealth realms, the United Kingdom might have opted for the latter. Can anyone think of a single POD after the Second World War that might have saved the Commonwealth from complete irrelevance?

(Extra points if you include Jamaica and other countries that could make significant gains from inclusion in a high-income federation with freedom of movement.)
