Campaign groups in Texas and California are both pushing for the independence of their states in the wake of last month’s 52 to 48 per cent Brexit vote, which has reinvigorated long-running campaigns to “take control of our destiny.”
Texit, the secession of Texas from the United States, is the main goal of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), who welcomed last month’s historic vote for Britain to leave the European Union (EU).
Campaign leader Danny Miller said: “From the looks of it, the British people have chosen to take control of their political and economic destiny. The forces of fear have lost.
“It is now important for Texas to look to Brexit as an inspiration and an example that Texans can also take control of our destiny. It is time for Texans to rally with us and fight for the right to become a self-governing nation.”
He called on the governor of Texas to support his group’s desire for an Texit referendum, highlighting the state’s forced submission to the national government – a comparison that could be made with the EU’s overwhelming control over the laws and borders of the 28-country bloc.
