It isn't a colonial government any more than a national legislature is by passing laws that apply to regions with devolved governments.

It is a national legislature that is trying to disband the devolved government, not passing laws that effect it. And worse, the national legislature is doing so without any feedback from the devolved government. Refusing to involve the game-side in these discussions through at the very least regional polling makes no sense. 

And the Charter clearly imposes restrictions to the Assembly and the Local Council via not allowing either side to pass laws that effect the opposite without the consent of the other. It can not be the supreme legislative body of the 'region' if it requires consent of the game-side on matters that effects the game-side. And to impose the will of the forum-side on the game-side without their input is indeed more colonial than national-devolved governments argument you make.
