Falklands is a clear example of the entire population wanting to keep the status quo[0], there's no movement to change that on the island - no groups campaigning for it etc. There's no "both sides" to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_referendum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Falkland_Islands_sovereig... Gibraltar was the same, but then brexit came, so not sure if that has swung opinion but I don't think. In 2002 87% of the total registered to vote voted to remain the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gibraltar_sovereignty_referendum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gibraltar_sovereignty_ref... Catalonia probably wants independence (40% voted for it in 2017), and should have a decent referendum and debate with independence as an option, the travesty of the referendum just shows how undemocratic Spain is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Catalan_independence_referendum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Catalan_independence_refe... New Caledonia on the other hand wants to retain the status quo, although not much. Maybe in 30 years time that will have changed, and there's certainly both valid sides of the conversation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_New_Caledonian_independence_referendum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_New_Caledonian_independen...
