The Protest

Not all the people in Low Land were happy about the plans of break-away. The citizens of High Land were all against it, too.
The Ty Beanie Group, whose members come from both cities, organized an unusual protest action: they climbed up (or flew up) to the cornice above Low Land, put protesting posters on the ceiling and had hunger strike there for a couple of days.
Their efforts have turned out to be effective: the nonconformists have finally changed their minds.
They have settled the issue by agreeing that a new leadership will soon be elected as there'll be elections in a few months.
