minus-squareTheChurn@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months ago how else can it be interpreted? As a call for representation in Parliament, the body levying taxes. The slogan wasn’t “No taxation unless we are an independent political entity”.
minus-squareMxM111@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoI don’t know. Since this slogan was always related to revolution against British, I always thought it was not about “gives us representation”, but about “stop taxing us, we want to be free of you”.
