Is Lynton Crosby likely to talk about CANZUK with Michael Howard? I don't know much about the fellow except what was in the above article. If not, we should send him a letter. Although, of course, the trouble with writing to Conservative Central Office is that there is a rigid protocol for dealing with correspondence which has been in place since the consolidation of the party in the wake of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685:

A letter has to be filed, taken out of the file, photcopied in triplicate and put into three different files, locked in a filing cabinet, the key lost, then found again, the letters then taken out, lost, found again, lost, then buried in a peat bog and recycled as firelighters so that it comes to be read when the intended recipient is trying to get a good hearth-blaze going to insulate their office from London weather. Thank heaven for e-mail.
