Dom Mintoff of the Maltese Labour Party proposed Maltese integration into the United Kingdom, in which they would gain three seats in Parliament and roughly have a similar position as Northern Ireland with its own local parties. The referendum to join Britain, while boycotted by some, had 77% in favour of unification with a 59.1%. So... it begs the question, what happens if they were granted seats and were integrated?

1. What impact would this have on British politics? Possible outrage amongst British citizens, having three MPs that aren't 'British'.
2. What impact would this have on Maltese politics? Nationalist party isn't going anywhere, so we could see a scramble over the next 20 years for whether they should instead leave.
3. What precedent would this set for other imperial territories? Would other smaller islands in say the Caribbean or otherwise start applying for similar treatment?
