Even if it is accepted that the union was a Western conspiracy against the Zanzibar revolution, the effect of the intention was to deny Zanzibar the capacity to be an international actor, not to interfere with what was happening inside the country.

Kuhusu dhana ya kuwa kwa sababu Bunge la Tanzania lina wabunge zaidi ya 200 kutoka upande wa Tanganyika wakati wengine 50 wanatoka Zanzibar hivyo maslahi ua Zanzibar hayawezi kulindwa katika bunge hilo ukweli ni kuwa katika Bunge hakuna suala linalohusu Muungano linalopita bila ya kuwa na baraka za three third majority ya Wabunge kutoka Zanzibar. Sasa kama unadhani nguvu za kibunge ni kuwa na Zanzibar kuwa na wabunge 300 pia inaonyesha jinsi gani mlivyokosa busara.
