1956 Maltese United Kingdom integration referendum

Proposals

Under the proposals, Malta would have had three seats of its own in the British House of Commons.[2] In addition, the Home Office would take over responsibility for Maltese affairs from the Colonial Office.[3] The UK parliament would have control of defence and foreign affairs, and eventually direct taxation, whereas the Maltese parliament would be responsible for all other areas of public life, including education and the position of the Catholic Church.[4] Standards of living on the islands would be raised to parity with the rest of the UK by raising wages and increasing employment opportunities.[4]

gollark: Try not to horribly break it or something.
gollark: Perhaps, but the issue is that for some unfathomable reason you use a slice and such instead of `.startswith`, and as it turns out you forgot to update `message.content[:6]` to be the right length.
