Rishi Sunak has ruled out any new negotiations over the Falkland Islands and Argentina's new President pledged to "get them back".

    If there’s a hill the UK is prepared to die on this is it, 99.9 percent of Falkland Islanders voted to remain part of the UK in a UN observed open election subsequent to the UK retaining control of the islands. Argentina has never maintained any form of civilian population there in nearly 150 years, they want the oil and fishing rights.

    Edit in 2013 another vote was held, 99.8 percent.

      First 99.9% then 99.8%? So, the support for a Falkexit is rising! Only give it a few hundred years and those Falklandiands are ready to join Argentina!

        Support for Falkexit doubled, a clear sign for the Islanders wish for independence. /s

        Now 3 people support it, instead of 2! (No, literally)
