I don't particularly care if they survive or not.
If the inuit are of the opinion that they can survive as independent,(which Lars Emil Johansen just lately has said might become a reality) then so be it.

I do however favour the french model, which basically dismounts everything down to the last light switch if a colony should want to go solo!

LOL I agree.
In the middle of the Indian Ocean an Island called Christmas was running out of it's export market and guess what they came running to Australia please can we become part of the Australian Commonwealth. So now we have to look after them.
I noted they didn't go to India, Indonesia, Pakistan or Singapore asking to be part of their countries.

Gibraltar doesn't want independence. I think the locals should decide not anybody else.
I like the Scots a lot but lets face England Wales and Scotland are on the same Island and division never works.

If it included an Australian passport then good result for the islanders. A good insurance policy in the event of future global warming. Now all you need is a nice oil discovery offshore of Christmas island......

One of my family was in India only a short while ago and she couldn't get over the gap between the have's and the have nots. Lovely country but the poverty was such an eye-opener.
