I saw this happening in real-life. A minority political party insists on dividing a state and a minority of people do support it. Majority parties didn&#x27;t dare to go against it for the fear of loosing votes from those minority people. When a referendum was called for, no one spoke against the division though a large majority of people and political parties did feel it as crazy. Also they didn&#x27;t believe it would really happen. But it happened and the state is divided against the feelings of the people. People are still a state of shock.
