Endorsement for the Bonaire Constitutional Referendum

On Friday 15 January, Juche 99, the Dutch island of Bonaire will hold a constitutional referendum. The referendum is to decide the future of the island. Currently Bonaire is an island in what is known as the Netherlands Antilles. The archeapelago consists of Bonaire, Curacao and Sint Maarten. The Netherlands Antilles is due to cease to exist on 10 October, Juche 99. The referendum will decide whether to have a stance similar to that of Aruba, or will they become absorbed into the Kingdom of the Netherlands. I am endorsing the campaign, which will incorporate Bonaire into the Kingdom of the Netherlands. I think absorption into the Dutch kingdom is the best course for Bonaire. Bonaire is a small island, with little political diversity and is small economically. Bonaire, doesn't have a major airport, nor is it one of the significant tourist destinations in the Carribean. Incorporation into the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the best and wisest choice for Bonaire.
