What they were effectively asking for was self-governance, being removed from parliamentary control.

Yes, how else it can be interpreted? This is what freedom is on state level - self governance.

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”.
