> The majority of Greenlanders want independence. In the abstract, yes. In the specifics, maybe not so much: > A poll in 2016 showed that there was a clear majority (64%) for full independence among the Greenlandic people,[25] but a poll in 2017 showed that there was a clear opposition (78%) if it meant a fall in living standards. Greenland gets about 700m/year subvention, so about 15k per capita. Without that it would be very serious trouble, making actual independence (vs self-rule, which it largely already has) difficult. Realistically it's difficult for such a small country to be truly independent.
