    how else can it be interpreted?

    As a call for representation in Parliament, the body levying taxes.

    The slogan wasn’t “No taxation unless we are an independent political entity”.

      I don’t know. Since this slogan was always related to revolution against British, I always thought it was not about “gives us representation”, but about “stop taxing us, we want to be free of you”.
