"Colonies don't have representation in the national parliament"

You're right. If it is the parliament of the whole UK, then it is a State parliament, not a national one, since the UK contains several nations, not one.

Even if they do send people to Westminster, that doesn't preclude them being colonies. Overseas departments of France send representatives to Paris. Doesn't stop them being colonies.

Author: landlubber [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:23:00 11/03/04 Wed "perhaps independence for land-locked regions might be on the agenda after all." I'm neutral on Alberta independence, but plenty of land locked countries exist and do well. Europe has many e.g. Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic etc. None of these countries are doing too badly. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
