If Putin could get 133% of the votes, why can't the Falklanders, huh?

Edit: also, contention to those numbers.
According to this, the vote as 98.8% yes of 1517 voters.


They 3 who voted NO, and the invalid vote...they are the new Troll Kings.

Only 99.7% (or 98.8%, according to another source) is too low! WE NEED A UNANIMOUS OPINION.

I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

He actually went as far saying this, when his Rabbi publicly reminded him of his family's debt of gratitude to Israel and the Jewish community during and after the Holocaust: "What does he want me to do? Write Israel a check for allegedly helping my father?"

Here you go, guys! Fresh from La Nación, Argentina's most right-wing (though surprisingly left-wing by American standards) newspaper!

http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1555949-timerman-quiere-que-le-haga-un-cheque-a-israel-por-lo-que-supuestamente-hizo-por-mi-padre

This was all part of a massive political shit storm over a memorandum that called for cooperation between the Argentine and the Iranian government in the investigation of a terrorist attack which has been suspected to have involved the Iranians in some way (some believe the Iranians might have actually planned the attack).

He's rhetorically asking "Do I have to change the Argentine foreign policy and take a shit on the AMIA because I may have a debt to Israel? I don't have any debts."

The Falklanders are patriotic to the core, and 98.8% voted to remain British. This is fantastic, because we British are the greatest country in the world and if them Argies invade again, we'll show them who's boss once more. Image

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist. 
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.
