In 1968, Bermuda was granted a new constitution, its first premier, and autonomy, except for foreign relations, defense, and internal security. The predominantly white United Bermuda Party has retained power in four elections against the opposition—the black-led Progressive Labour Party—although Bermuda's population is 58% black. U.S. air and navy bases, which had been leased in 1941 for 99-year terms, closed in 1995, along with Canadian, British army, and Royal Navy bases. In a referendum held in Aug. 1995, nearly three-fourths of those voting opposed independence. | In 1968, Bermuda was granted a new constitution, its first premier, and autonomy, except for foreign relations, defense, and internal security.
