Since the late 2000s there has been growing calls for the people of the [[Western Cape]] province of [[South Africa]] to become an independent state. South Africa in its current form was created in 1910 after the [[South Africa Act 1909]] was passed in the British parliament. The Cape Colony ceased to exist, however many of its unique political and cultural quirks such as the [[Cape Qualified Franchise#The Cape Liberal Tradition|Cape Liberal Tradition]] nevertheless continued to exist. Recent polling has shown that over 46% of Western Cape voters back independence outright.
