    They’d get far more rights and proper political representation. Am I missing something?

      They would be acknowledging they they won’t ever be treated as a full and independent country by doing so. They currently claim sovereignty and have special rights because of it, including the right to govern traditionally and to deny membership to their colonial oppressors

      If they want statehood I’m happy to give it, but I’ve seen no indication they want it
