Yea, that is 100% true, but Canada ALWAYS touches Alaska.


Is it wrong that I immediately imagined somebody asking Alaska where Canada has been touching it?

Clear enough. How can a useless archipelago in the breathing space of Argentina benefit us! Let them be independent!

Your logic doesn't follow. Also, it isn't in the middle of the ocean. You are likely thinking of Ascension Island.

What about make it an autonomous condominium between Argentina and the UK, with the islanders having practically all of the power de facto? Also allowing the islanders to chose either or both citizenships.

The USA have been stocking the Hawaiian Council of State with puppets from the moment the queen of Hawaii (yes they had one) accepted foreign nominations.

Keep Falklands British.

The British fought and invested much into the Falklands. The inhabitants want to remain under British control. That's all I need to know. Keep The Falklands British!

To comments I've seen about a condominium, it's really hard to imagine that going well. Neither side would prefer to share the islands, they'd rather own it themselves.

You know, it's interesting in its own way that the only instances of fiddling with poll results in such a manner that I am aware of have been in threads about the Falklands.

No. The inhabitants of the island aren’t Argentinian nor want to be part of Argentina.

No, British soldiers died to reclaim the Island back, why would they give it to the Argentinian who invaded it?
Plus the people living up there already make their mind pretty clear through that vote.
