Claim: Montserrat operates under the Montserrat Constitution Order 2010 (amended 2011 and 2020); following the 2024 Montserrat general election, journalistic commentary describes the territory as having shifted toward framing its grievances with the United Kingdom as defects in UK domestic policy frameworks, rather than as grounds for seeking a new constitutional settlement or independence.
