Saba: preferred governmental status of the island 2015

This statistic displays the opinions on the preferred governmental status of the island in Saba in 2015. In 2010, the Netherlands Antilles were disbanded, and Saba became a special municipality of the Netherlands. Five years later, respondents from Saba participating in this survey were asked what their preferred governmental status for the island was. Nearly 50 percent stated to pick their current status of special municipality, but also 30 percent would prefer going back to the Netherlands Antilles.

If you had to choose one of the following options, would you now choose for Saba: complete independence, an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a special municipality of the Netherlands, or back to the Netherlands Antilles?*
