Quite simply - I support democracy. If the people of Tibet want to be a separate country, well fair enough. The same goes for Tasmania (a part of Australia), or any other group/state/region.
Independence is a major change though, so I think you'd need more than a simple majority. Perhaps 2/3?

i agree nim.
give the tassies to the kiwis cos i dont see them lasting on their own! nah seriously though,...
any country that wants/needs democracy has a right of self rule if they can show enough reason and resolve to want and know how to rule themselves.
chechnya is a classic example where russias meddling screwed a fine working specimen of democratically elected leaders and turned them into 'religious rebels'.
