There have been recent, legal self-determination referenda in Scotland, New Caledonia and the Falkland Islands.

I'm sure there are more; these are just three I'm familiar with.

Scotland did the referendum in agreement with British Law and Westminster pairlament. This, note there is no British Constitution that forbids them to do referendums.

About Flakland Islands I don't know, so I don't have an opinion.

Your previous post:

> Do you think that USA would allow Texas or Lakota Nation to secede?

I think Symbiote was using Scotland as an example to prove that this wasn’t out of the question.

Also done legally under British law. With hilariously lopsided results!
