>Actually z, you are attacking this from the wrong angle. Or in the words of the current political environment, “you don’t have the spin right.”

The Country is sufficiently polarized that with the right spin and a good media campaign I seriously think it would probably pass a national referendum. [for which there is of course no mechanism]

I think you are very right. Of course, there will be problems when they find out that the most productive part of the country is leaving. But, like you say, with the right approach we should be able to minimize the fallout.
