I broke into a cold sweat after hearing Raleigh's words.
No, uh, so right now...
"You're saying we should establish people who suit our taste as heads of government."
"Yes."

"..."
"But don't we lack justification for that?"
On the surface an independent country, but with government positions filled by people chosen to suit the 'mother country's' taste.
We call that a puppet state.
As a citizen of a country that experienced both becoming a puppet state and then annexation, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. I cautiously raised the issue with Raleigh.
"They achieved liberation from Spain through an uprising for freedom. No matter how much they desire to join our community, we can't just do as we please with such people. There would be strong resistance."
"That depends on the justification."
Indeed, is it because he's British? His way of thinking is slightly different from mine.
