You have territories that expressly want to be part of your state.

2019-09-30 14:49:19 UTC  

This is just basic free will at work

2019-09-30 14:49:41 UTC  

puppet states or integrated?

2019-09-30 14:49:57 UTC  

Think falklands

2019-09-30 14:50:01 UTC  

Or Gibraltar

2019-09-30 14:50:02 UTC  

i see

2019-09-30 14:50:10 UTC  

But they must first apply

2019-09-30 14:50:13 UTC  

there's still usually an element of coercion and the relationship still usually leans in the favor of the stronger poer

2019-09-30 14:50:15 UTC  

Turn EU into HRE

2019-09-30 14:50:17 UTC  

And then vote by referendum in favour

2019-09-30 14:50:23 UTC  

would Scotland count or not?

2019-09-30 14:50:30 UTC  

No not really

2019-09-30 14:50:30 UTC  

i'm not sure what sort of international organizations would be ideal

2019-09-30 14:50:35 UTC  

They are UK

2019-09-30 14:50:46 UTC  

Gib is a territory

2019-09-30 14:51:19 UTC  

i see but if say gib where to join would they be under our parliament or have there own that was a puppet of our own?

2019-09-30 14:51:20 UTC  

For example the gib passport is different, however still let's you in the UK

2019-09-30 14:51:48 UTC  

Gib govern themselves, however some thing like leaving the EU are central to Westminster

2019-09-30 14:51:53 UTC  

Common defence etc

2019-09-30 14:51:55 UTC  

i see

2019-09-30 14:52:04 UTC  

We are responsible for defending them

2019-09-30 14:52:07 UTC  

i actually really like that idea tbh

2019-09-30 14:52:08 UTC  

As the argues found out

2019-09-30 14:52:17 UTC  

With falklands

2019-09-30 14:52:46 UTC  

It's basically territories that are member by consent not force

2019-09-30 14:52:49 UTC  

They want to be here

2019-09-30 14:53:04 UTC  

Falklands voted like 99% to be UK

2019-09-30 14:53:07 UTC  

Not argie

2019-09-30 14:53:59 UTC  

We already have the basical application process to get into the commonwealth

2019-09-30 14:54:21 UTC  

You would simply expand that with more stringent requirement to become a UK territory

2019-09-30 14:54:35 UTC  

In fact I would be surprised if there wasn't already a path to terriroty status

2019-09-30 14:54:54 UTC  

so would we offer this to commonwealth states?

2019-09-30 14:55:13 UTC  

You'd offer it to anyone that met the government type requirements etc

2019-09-30 14:55:35 UTC  

what would the requirements be?

2019-09-30 14:55:46 UTC  

And then you'd make a decision based on economic viability, popular support etc

2019-09-30 14:56:10 UTC  

Economic viability, popular support, language, government type

2019-09-30 14:56:32 UTC  

Commonwealth or previous British terrority is a plus

2019-09-30 14:56:51 UTC  

Legal system

2019-09-30 14:56:57 UTC  

i see sounds like a good idea tbh

2019-09-30 14:56:58 UTC  

Must be adversarial

2019-09-30 14:57:03 UTC  

Not inquisitorial
