Quote:Around one in four Americans say they would support their state seceding — ranging from 9% in Connecticut to 36% in Alaska, among 46 states analyzed.
From California to Texas to New Hampshire, calls for state secession have made headlines recently, sparking debates over whether states have a right to secede. We asked over 35,000 U.S. adults to tell us their views on secession.
Besides the overall finding of significant support for secession, the poll found that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to support their state seceding, regardless of whether they live in a primarily Republican or Democratic state. Larger and more populated states — including California, Texas, and New York — are more likely than smaller and less populous states to have a higher share of residents who favor secession. Most Americans who are in favor of their state seceding believe that doing so is a constitutional right, while most who oppose it believe this right does not exist.

All federal legislation still requires Royal Accent, but that function is bestowed to our Governor General.

I'm going to try find out if/how a US state could be allowed to leave, I have a vague memory that they basically have to be kicked out by the other states...

I'll post back if I find something of interest.

Anyway , i am not a fan of secession , it`s just the final outcome/symptom from problems . Rebuilding unity / national cohesion is more important , but that is just my personal view, and not necessery the final truth in this matter .
