The only way to still the revolts is to grant gutonomous rule to the dependencies. Everybody agrees about that. But few agree about the method. In Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Britons govern themselv The mother country has given freedom to her gons. They can do whatever they like while there is a British navy to protect them.
