The PR Independence Party has elected candidates, but has yet to win more than a few percentage points of the vote in gubernatorial elections (2.04% in 2008) or the legislative elections (4.5-5% of the island-wide legislative vote in 2008}
Is that the mojority [sic] of which you're referring -- between two and five percent?
This July, '09 poll indicates 51% of PRs are in favor of becoming America's 51st state:
http://www.hispanicvista.com/HVC/Opinio ... _looms.htm"When asked specifically about status preference, 51% of respondents cited statehood as their preferred option, an increase when compared with the results of a similar survey conducted in 2007.
On the other hand, 39% of respondents said they favor the current Commonwealth or Associated Free State of Puerto Rico status, a lower percentage than noted in the previous poll."
I believe the United Nations
draft resolution for self-determination will encourage PR toward statehood, rather than your ridiculous alternative.

Now ... about those nice Northern Ireland folks suffering the insufferable indignity of visiting the
British Embassy.
