The UK seems like its on its own path back to feudalism, or at least a far more authoritarian version of parliamentary monarchy. Maybe it should be 4EYES?

I thought that they could already get all data from their own citizens through other countries without breaking any laws (no warrants required).
It's also interesting that they are considering Asian countries for the first time - while Japan and Korea might be quite willing, because of their existing alliance with the US, India's decision will be very interesting to analyse. While India has problems with China, many in India believe the US to be an unreliable ally whose strategic goal is to keep Asia divided. Moreover, 5 eyes / 9 eyes is also aimed at Russia, with whom India shares a good relation. Russia is also a trusted military supplier of India and they even have joint defence research programs. Would it really be worth it for India to risk this?
