Ofcourse not.
Since when does one achieve independence thru voting and democracy?
History shows that the only way to achieve independence is to use force, and get rid of the oppressors.
Voting for independence is like a slave asking his slavemaster for permission to be free. Completely pathetic.
Such a slave is not even free in his own head, ... even if you freed this slave from his shackles he would just wander around confused asking other people what he is supposed to do now that he is free.
