Your judgement on what or isn't good politics is of no interest to me>

I have not proposed any solution because I have zero skin in the game, it was merely produced as an example of the sun setting on an empire.

Why all you trolls feel the need to make accusations, put words into other people's mouths, and demand "proposals" is beyond me - seems like either an inability to read and comprehend things, or a deliberate attempt to derail conversations - which one are you?

It was honestly a bit of trolling.

Personally I don't see New Caledonia getting independent anytime soon, because the current French government isn't interested in granting it and the Kanaks don't have the numbers or foreign support to stage a successful independence war.
