No, the subject has to contain the noun that is performing the action. The predicate is everything else, including the verb, words describing the subject, and dependent clauses.

Let’s simplify the sentence:

When people want to break off and form an independent country, respect requires that they say why.

It may be easier to find the subject and its action in this stripped-down sentence.
