As far as I'm concerned, it's up to the Falkland Islanders to decide who they 'belong' to; similarly, it's up to the Taiwanese to decide who they 'belong' to - and for the Hawai'ians to decide who they 'belong' to, should it come to that.

In Canada, there has long been a 'separatist' or 'sovereigntist' issue with Quebec - Canadian courts have ruled that if a sizable majority of Quebeckers should vote in favour of separation, the federal government must accommodate it - and most Canadians find that reasonable. Dick, I don't know what you're on about; this just seems utter drivel:

"how about, wales for the welsh and scotland to leave the uk,
the island of island ireland for the irish,
none of them will not because they could not survive without the umbrella of europe. gnopme you really need to think
IRELAND IS IN EFFECT EXISTING UNDER HOME RULE, but is not able to exist as an independent country, it needs europe so does England, loOk at the mess the uk is in , and you think Taiwan could exist as an independent country, YOU TALK OUTDATED ROMANTIC DRIVEL"

There is no reason Taiwan cannot exist as an independent country, which is essentially what it has been doing for over 50 years - except for the threat of military aggression from mainland China.
