Well sadly we are self governing and technically we shouldn’t apply as we didn’t colonise anyone. Place was empty and a few white chaps from the uk got bored of the weather..not hard to do and decided to pop over this way and lay claim to empty land…no colonizing in the sense of Africa now is there. Besides who would you hand it back to? The first Bermudians…well we all know how difficult a task that is here..there is a clue in my post though.

So that we can pay them for the privilege to be part of the UN? Or at least, so that our future UN votes can be bought by China or other big nations?

What is the purpose of the UN? What is the purpose of having a Special Committee on Decolonization for a group of mostly islands that have less that 500,000 in population total compared with the 6+ billion world population? What a waste of time and resources!

Given the list is of ‘Non-Self-Governing Territories’ how do we fit on there. We are self-governed, we have by the far one of the most advanced constitutions of any other overseas territory, British or otherwise. I think it is time the UN updates their list, I understand that when they created the list, we didn’t have constitution, but that was decades ago. We are self-governing and we have chosen this way.

Bermuda would be insane to go independent at this stage. That British/EU passport is so valuable to us.
