Gibraltar
The idea of the RfC is to try and get some outside opinions, but not to edit the intro at present. At present its largely deadlocked between two camps, those who would like to think of Gibraltar a British colony run by westminister and those who think its self-governing.

However, since the 2006 constitution, everything apart from defence and foreign relations is done by the elected Government. I see that in Liechtenstein, has no military forces (prohibited) and yet they are described as self-governing.

Please do not be discouraged from looking for references and joining the discussion. --Gibnews (talk) 01:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
