Falklands or Malvinas? (And Anglo-Saxon Bias)

[The Northumbrian Republic]

Many of you may of remembered the Falklands referendum in 2013, where 99.2% of Falklanders Voted to say British and not be transferred to Argentinian control.
Recently the Argentinian government has been increasing its efforts to 'recover' the islands and that has sparked tensions.

Personally, I think the Falklands needs to be a neutral, independent country and not subjected to Anglo-Saxon remnant empire bias.

So, what do you think? Tell us in this thread!

Does Argentina actually have any basis for its claims, aside from "we want" ?

[Eurasian Diplomat Corps]

Here's your answer.

I love how only THREE people on the island wanted to be Argentinian. Seriously, at this point, just get on a boat and go where you belong.

My mother language is Spanish, although I have an advanced dominion of English seemingly.

In Spanish, I refer to the isles as "Malvinas" although in English I call them "Falklands", chiefly due convenience (and the fact that an Argie won't get mad should he or she overhear me referring to the archipelago, and because I just got too used to knowing them as Malvinas, and it is hard to find an accurate translation of the term "Falklands").

However, Las Malvinas son Britanicas.

As far as I know they don't. Argentina's always going to be "gib clay" though, unfortunately.

I suspect they're three friends who voted that away just to see how everybody else would react.

Well now, that calls into question the legitimacy of it, now doesn't it? That's a result Kim Jung-Un would be proud of.

According to The Guardian, it is possible that at least one of the three who voted “no” did so out of desire for a second referendum on independence from the UK.

[New Skaaneland]

Falklands.

[Chartist Socialist Republics]

Self-determination. Soooo the Falklands.

Honestly we should stop giving the question credence by talking about it. It's so bloody silly to come to a conclusion other than that the one the people living in the islands have already come to.

[Senkaku]

Here's your answer.

Wow. That's like North Korea poll levels except like actually fair and multiple choices on the ballot.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Since the islanders have practiced self determination, and have expressed a desire to remain British, I call them the Falkland Islands.

[Nipponretto]

As far as I'm concerned, Argentina's opinion on the matter has been null and void for ages.

The Falklanders themselves have made very clear their stance on all this, so that's exactly how it should continue to be.

They don't necessarily want to be Argentinian. They might want to be independent of both the UK and Argentina. Or they may have voted no for a laugh in the hopes of being the only person to do so.

[Old Tyrannia]

The self-determination of the Falklanders should be respected. So long as they desire to remain British, that is what should happen.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Argenti...nah.

[The Northumbrian Republic]

I think there might be anglo-saxon bias approaching.

You can either be the edgy hipster who annoy everyone during the breakfast by correcting people when they say "Creussant" instead of "Croissant" or be intelligent and just accept that except for some very rare term, there are no needs to use a foreign word when you're speaking in your mother language.

[Kouralia]

This thread is back? Well, the Falklands are British and are the Falklands.

This is the only logical answer, and the only moral one: any other is stupid.

Why?

[Edward Richtofen]

I think we should just put a few worships between the islands and Argentina and tell them to swim it.

[Infected Mushroom]

The islands belongs to the Empire.

The people on the islands want to stay with the Empire.

Argentina can't grab the place by force because the Royal Navy is much more powerful.

The Falklands = British

And let that be the end of it

I don't think building floating churches is the answer here.
