Advanced form of Ministerial Government with Governor
retaining only usual reserve powers (defence, external
affairs, internal security including police and public service). No apparent desire to proceed to independence, at least in foreseeable future. A link
with the US Virgin Islands is often suggested but
would be unacceptable to either party. Economically
sound, with tourism, financial centre operations and prospect of off-shore oil.
