Ask any local if St Maarten is ready for status apartus, and chances are, the answer will be no.
Ask them if St Maarten should receive status apartus, and the answer is overwhelmingly Yes.
I tried to argue the obvious contradiction, but it appears that although locals are very aware of how corrupt the island government is, they believe that the corruption in the Netherlands, is far more sinister, and deeper than anything that can be found in St Maarten.
The more locals that I asked the question to, the more I realized that St Maarteners are quite politically savvy, many are just so used to, and content with the old ways.
They see rule by the Dutch, as just a way for the Dutch to get their hands on more money.
I guess I will have to wait for the feedback from the Nederlanders in St Maarten and everywhere else.
Is the Netherlands as/more corrupt than St Maarten?
