Secession - The Way Forward For Nevis & St. Kitts

Nevis, with its diminutive population of 10,000 souls is set to finish what Anguilla started back in 1967. The United Kingdom under pressure to dismantle its Empire parceled certain islands in the Caribbean together. One of these parcels was St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla notwithstanding that Anguilla is over sixty miles away. The population density was such that a significant majority of the population resided in St. Kitts. After Antigua voted and declared independence the Labour Government under Bradshaw put the same vote to the people of Anguilla, Nevis and St. Kitts, which was passed as prescribed. The three territories passed out of being British dependent territories and became a Federation with the Government seat in St. Kitts.
