I hope you can keep it, I feel this would be a harder thing to acheive in London, due to the massive break down in communities. Still if it can spread to other places, it's a real the rest to their control. Of course nobody's in control.

Only 151 people voted? How many people live in the area?

If this spreads it could be compared to a Paris Commune type situation.
Without war.

What this actually means in real terms. Do the people no longer have to pay council taxes and obey by-laws?
