@Jabes522@AMacGregor4CML The UK let them. But UK had no obligation. Like rump Canada would not have to independent Alberta. Not that an independent Alberta would last a fortnight.
@Jabes522@AMacGregor4CML The British Nationality Act of 1948 automatically stripped the Irish of UK citizenship with defined exceptions that could be claimed. All under total UK control and will. Malaysia is a common law country, just like Canada, so it's relevant.
