[edit]
The passage of this referendum would likely have removed Tokelau from the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. It is unclear if the democratic rejection of self-governance will have a similar effect.

I'm not absolutely certain, so haven't edited, but I don't think it would. After all, Bermuda rejected independence in a referendum, and Gibraltar also voted overwhelmingly to stay British, and both those territories are still on the list. I belive the US Virgin Islands are in much the same position. Loganberry (Talk) 13:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm just gonna remove it; I can't see what it's based on at all.--Pharos 01:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Islanders chose not to change Tokelau's status from an unincorporated territory of New Zealand to the proposed alternative is unfortunate wording, as most voters did support the change. Zocky | picture popups 02:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
