Tokelau rejects independence for the second time

This is getting to be really funny.  All the well meaning do gooders keep telling the Tokelau people that being a colony is bad and they should vote for independence.  And they were amazed when the vote a year or so ago missed out on the 66% super-majority by 6% or so.

So they held an another vote, because I mean how dare they vote the wrong way. And story after story told us there was absolutely no way this vote would fail. Yet it has, by 2% this time.

Priceless.
