Abstract

On 14 July 2018, as the French military was parading in the streets of Nouméa, an extraordinary Congress of the Parti Travailliste de Kanaky (PT, English: Labour Party of Kanaky) voted to abstain from the New Caledonia’s 4 November referendum on sovereignty. Later, in their 16th Congress the Union Syndicale des travailleurs Kanak et des exploités (USTKE) also decided to opt out with a large majority. That the USTKE (which from its very foundation in 1981 has been at the forefront of the independence movement) and the Labour PartyPT (its political wing) decided so, may seem puzzling. Yet, it makes sense for practical and tactical reasons.
