Falklands' Vote

From the BBC:
"Falkland Islands to hold referendum on sovereignty"

The Falkland Islands will hold a referendum on its "political status" in a bid to end the dispute with Argentina over the archipelago's sovereignty. The islands' government made the announcement ahead of the anniversary on marking 30 years since the end of Argentina's 74-day occupation in 1982. It said it wanted to send a firm message to Argentina that islanders want to remain British. The UK prime minister said Britain would support the result of the vote. The referendum will be organised by the Falkland Islands government and will take place in the first half of next year.

^ It's clear that the people of the Falklands will vote to remain part of the UK. They have full-British citizenship and showed their resolve to remain British during the Argentine occupation 30 years ago. ^
