Saying should london become an independent country is funny. London is the capital of England, you can think of it as Denver Colorado, Sacramento California or Oklahoma City Oklahoma, as such it becoming its own country would place the rest of England, a separate Country at this point, mostly surrounding it, leave it no room to expand, no official currency, no standing military and many goods, services, trade agreements alliances etc would need to be established for London to survive as a country. Long story short, No, it shouldn't.
Many Londoners would like London to become an independent 'city state'.
For those who are unfamiliar with the real people of London and their politics, let's just say we are more left of centre than centre left. I think the Americans would be astonished to learn just how left we used to be when Lenin was here and not forgetting Karl Marx too.
Dear old Karl Marx who once told the Paris Communist Party, I am not a Marxist. Quite right too.
One other thing which is not widely known is that only about 4% of the people we see on the streets of London for any Royal event are actually from London. Personally I would not be seen dead standing for hours in a rain soaked London street just to see the Queen swish by in a coach.
Londer since 1941
Surely for a country to become independent it would have to have been a non independent country to start off with? Or at least a country? Perhaps (and I'm going to assume that you hail from the USA.....y'know that 'Country' totally bamboozled by anything foreign......there again bamboozled by a lot of things non foreign) you should start learning.
No, I believe every Country should have Agriculture so it can support itself, the UK needs to invest in Agriculture, because it's not just a London problem, the Tories sold EVERYTHING out, it needs to be rebooted for the UK to be a real economy again, don't hold your breath though, Theresa May is literally there to destroy the UK, in favor of Multinationals, so the Tories can claim a 'clean up' next election, and stay in power.
Even though it's all their fault we're in this mess to begin with.
no. why? That is like asking if Kentucky should become an independent nation. Please clarify since there is a London, Ky.
London has no real independent income to support the city.
Even having a constitutional monarchy, there would be resistance to that idea. The official residence for the Royal family is in London, Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family even had the balls to stay there (and get bombed themselves)during the German Blitz.
The current Queen, Queen Elizabeth was in the Army during WWII, as a mechanic and truck driver. The woman has earned her stripes in living and governing in London.
London will be a niggger town soon.
=============================================================
1) London is already a white minority city.
2) Latinos have passed whites as the largest ethnic group in California in 2015.
As recently as 1970, eight out of 10 Californians were white.
3) The Majority of American Babies Are Now Minorities (2015) - Bloomberg
4) America will a white minority country before 2050.
In 2050, white population will be less than 50% in USA.
In 2100, white population will be 1/3 in USA.
In 1950, white population was about 90% in USA.
In 1980, white population was about 80% in USA
in 2000, white population was about 70% in USA
Now, white population is about 60% in USA
London is a city and not a country
London is the capital of an independent country - The United Kingdom
Yes.
They only love themselves, they hate the north and they are quick to betray the rest of the country as only their voices are heard (if you're not from London no one cares).
No, that would be like Las Vegas wanting to be their own country.
maybe but then the uk would go into a recession or something because London is vital to it. like if america was stripped of NYC and LA
How stupid can someone be???????
Like i wont even answer this question because i just wasted brain cells just reading this title....
London is not a country...
There is already one. City of London.
Yes. Split off Londonstan so we can go to war with it and bomb it into rubble.
No, but they need to pay attention to the rest of the county's problems rather than their own image.
Its a city and it can't be a country what a silly question
No, it's not possible, no country is a independent country in the center of another country
London is a City not a Country.
London, City of London is it's own state within England where all the Bankers reside. So it is already independent.
it will never happen. the uk will lose way too much and it has too much stakes in london. london may not do as well on its own
There are several political groups who would like to see England broken up into regions, including London as its own region.
They would remain as part of the United Kingdom.
Of course it could work with the correct administration, and many think it will dissolve the advancement of a corrupt Corporatocracy society.
If it did it still wouldn't be the smallest country in the world either
One such regionalist party is the Wessex Regionalist Party:

no it cannot become any kind of country 'cause it's a city... london is a city......... it's a city...
Yea, yeet dawg 206 smoke weed brah dope asfu
do you know how decent londoners are .englands people are not snobs or bastards there manner is great .i was in england it was great . no. england must stay with scots and rebuild the commonwealth ties with eduction .england currency must stay i carry a pound note with me allways
London is not a country. It is a city. I think you mean the United Kingdom (or) England.
You mean with Liberals like Australia?
Half of them already made it that way.
Did you know their Muslims have taken half the city and beat people up for being different in lynch mobs? Scary crap. It's like illegal Mexicans crossing the border into the US to enforce people to follow their way of life. Scary sh*t. We Americans would not stand for it and get the help from our Portiricans that got here legally to go kick their butts so they would not mess with us. Mexican's are afraid to pick fights with Portiricans. I wonder who Muslims are afraid to pick fights with? Maybe London can do the same thing if they get way out of hand over there. Chase them back to the border to leave everyone in peace to live their lives out in their community. That would be swell.
As for independence, to get Brexit established, i would fully support that because the European Union is in debt and would put London in debt too, not to meantion the EU is a communist regime. In this, they need independence
參考: from the European Union.
Uh, London is a city, not a country...
London is a city of the united Kingdom how can it be it own country ask better questions next time
No, I think the UK just shouldn't leave the eu.
I think london has fallen is one of the best movies of this century. Right after zootopia.
No, countries should cease to exist because they divide humanity, and causes pointless jingoism.
London is a city, not a country. It is also the CAPITAL of a country.
I would kind of like that, we're too different to the country folks.
As mentioned already, it's a City and I don't see the benefit of it becoming independent!
you been watching "paasport to pimlico?"
I don't believe The U.K. Should be its own country
You first need change unitary government to America like federalist then yes by all means make our day.
Good riddance.
Not until you get rid of those muslim communities because a natural born cant walk in those communities without being assaulted. Mike
參考: common logic
Since "LONDON" is a city in the country of ENGLAND, I don't think they could be self-supporting. so no, it makes no sence
if it do, the queen will cry,lol
No! It's bad enough as a city!!!
A lot of people feel that way. But it just wouldn't be possible. Can you imagine the queue's getting in and out of London from the various border checkpoints? Great suggestion, but actually not possible.
london should be part of africa.
Certainly looks that way have you seen London it does not look like a European city and it's not taken long for this abomination to occur look at pictures of London in the 90s even to now and you'll see....
Ok still though no it IS part of England and that isn't changing anytime soon.
No it cannot become any kind of country because it's a city. London is a city... It's a CITY.
That would be even stupider than Scottish Independence.
London is a City you idiot
London is the capital city of a country called England. Maybe.
I THE BEST CHOICE SINCE THE MESS OF MARGARET THATCHER,THEY GOING TO REBUILD THEIR OWN ECONOMY,SIMPLE THEY BUY AND PRODUCE,NOT GAMBLE AND STAND BY,TO KEEP STOCK GAMBLERS IN THE DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Isn't it an INDEPENDENT Country already?
London is the capital of England not a country..
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom, not a country.
london is city not a country
London is too small and weak to become its own country.
it could be beneficial considering the backlash from brexit
honestly wy even cause more trouble in the world
A city-state. Well, seeing that most people today have the same upward mobility as a serf did in the middle ages, yes that does seem to make sense.
Yes it should be, I've heard slight differences between UK and London, be honest London is more noble
london is not a country..
I wish they would and then go away. They seem to think London is the center of the universe, if it's in London it's hotter, wetter, colder, more blowy, more noisy, greener blah blah blah than anywhere else. If it doesn't happen in London, well, it just doesn't happen. I hate the place and the mentality, so out of touch with the rest of the country
To save it self it from the immigration onslaught might not be a bad idea.
Yeah,like Palestinian state in Israel
Del Boy loves Rodney, Rodney loves Del Boy.
I don't care. It is the hub of England, that would make a bigger change then just declaring it a country.
london is a city of England, how it possible only a city will independent.
Yes
One more Muslim country
Just what we need
I hope you know that London just a city not land mark or a region like I'm going say this wrong Wales or Scotland. No don't England people want city state created.
It already is. Londonistan.
Seriously? London is a CITY in England - and that's it.
it is a independent country.
I feel you should stop asking stupid questions.
DO YOU FEEL LONDON should become an INDEPENDENT Country?
LOL > WHY, U do realize most in YA's are American don't U > sounds like the stupid idea of Texas & California !
It should grow wings and fly away.
No, it should be a part of UK
i didnt go their but i think its good
I don't feel. Liberals and women feel situations. Real men like myself THINK! Die in a fire liberal sdit bag.
no... they should train people to be independent dentists and do something with all those crooked teeth...
Yeah it could be like the modern Sparta
Erupt will be stronger together
Might as well be called Londinistan!
No, it is the capital of the United Kingdom.
depends on if they want to
london is very diverse and cosmopolitan. MANY feel left out by the whites running the city
No. They should train people to be independent Dentists and do something with all those crooked teeth.
I don't know what "London" is.
it wont happen. the uk will go to war to stop it. london gets tons of incentives already from the uk
It is almost Sharia London
Wall it off, gas it, burn it, move Britons back in
Yes.
There is so much money, so many people, and so much power in London, they are now largely at odds with what the rest of the UK want.
Also, is it not frightening how many people failed to read the question?
"London isn't a country"
No shlt retards, the question was - SHOULD it be a country.
