Funny, in France one of the region that want to secede, Corsica, is like the lazy and scammy region, which is basically living off handouts from the rest of the country.
- phtrivier 4y agoThey don't want to secede so much as to be able to decide for themselves how to the 1/95th of the government money that their headcount happen to mean. (I have no data, but as suspect it's actually only a small minority of local politicians clinging to keeping a large part of a the small part of the pie.) I suppose the metro government has something to keep in here too (national waters in Mediterranean see, maybe ? Links to the drug cartels ? No idea.) But I suspect the French government that will announce true indépendance for Corsica would be met by forks and pitches _from_ the Islanders.)
