Those who favour a Campinian withdrawal from the AMU – commonly referred to as Camleavia (a portmanteau of "Campinia" and "Leave") argue that the AMU have failed and see the AMU as an exclusive colonial Antarctic group with almost no interest in the ecological problems of today. and want to join a , ecological organization Those who want to remain argue that leaving the AMU would risk Campinia's sovereignty, diminish its influence over Antartic affairs, And being vulnerable for illegal claims made in Campinian terrritories
