In my opinion elections of a sovereignity of south Tirol would not change anything of the status quo, it might not be perfect but a compromise most people can live with quite well.

"Boarischer Tiroler" is received by Tiroleans like "English Scott" by Scotts! (Although it might by much more justified in a ethno/historical point of view though.)
