I am not the best person to comment on the possibility of the Faroese becoming independent from Denmark. I can understand the population of any country wanting to control their own lives, their own economy and having the right to make their own laws. However, consider something should go wrong such as an economic downturn, possibly a lack of revenue from fishing due to amended fishing laws, a lack of updated technology for the medical profession or there is a need to carry out expensive repairs on the tunnel system linking the islands together. Would the Faroese Islanders be in a better position to gain money and technology if they can ask Denmark for assistance ? The British people have always been very stubborn at demanding our own independence but we have to admit we could not maintain our economy and standard of living if we had no ties with Europe and USA.
