Disclaimer & comment ruleskelperland say they are a democracy, but they have an unvoted representative in london for more than 20 years, who talk in kelperland who must be their representative in the metropoli??
Sep 14th, 2011 - 01:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0And she is not even a kelper. How much years did she live in south atlantic to talk about what´s happening??
You are far away to be a democracy; unvoted & no kelper governor; unvoted & no kelper Cameron Sukey; london appointed & no kelper judge; and no kelper bureaucreasy; and the most importat thing....the unvoted and london written constitution.
Kelperland is not a democracy, not even a country; it´s a colony....sorry chaps.
No need to apologise for being wrong Billious !
Sep 14th, 2011 - 01:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0She is what she wants to be, it's called 'self-determination'. If she wants to be a Falkland Islander, and she has that status, then she is! Just that. A Falkland Islander.
Nothing you can do about it .... sorry :-)
I see the annual circus is back in town :-))

Sep 14th, 2011 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0How many representatives of the Argentine republic in other countries were voted democratically by the Argentine electorate?
I will give you a clue Blue Haze, none, because you don't vote ambassadors/representatives on the basis of democratic popularity......idiot.
And even if it is a colony (which it isn't) its not for you or Argentina to decide who should rule, you don't live there, you don't the islands, you have no association with the islands....
PPPS......If it is a colony like you say it is, then it should be decolonised in accordance with resolution 1514 and we know exactly what that entails don't we Blue Haze :) Oh yes you guessed it.....self-determination hahah nice one, you just defeated your own argument.
Perhaps you should stop smoking the wacky tabbcy its obviously making your thought process a bit to “Hazy”
Sure to be some interesting conversations now that a timescale for oil production has been announced by RKH today! Happy days!

Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0FI is not even a country....not even a colony....just military base !!
One thing is certain. The FI is certainly not part of Argentina!
Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0It seems you'll clutch at any straw going Billy. When did you last elect Argentina's ambassador in London??? You pratt!
Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0No matter what the Falklands are, one thing for sure: it has nothing to do with Argentina.
Sep 14th, 2011 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sukey Cameron was born and raised in the Falkland Islands, she moved to London in 1983 to look after FIGO.
Sep 14th, 2011 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0As usual we have our Argentine contributors spitting out bile, without bothering to check the facts.
Island Gov. official site.
Sep 14th, 2011 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Supreme authority is vested in Her Majesty The Queen and exercised by a Governor on her behalf”
“The Governor has overall responsibility to the UK Government for good governance of the Islands”
Mr Nigel Haywood Born in England, former Ambassador of Estonia and Consul of Occupied Basra, Iraq.
The Chief Executive Tim Thorogood born in Barbados.
Several members of the Legislative Assembly born in England as well.
The new appointed Magistrate Mr Carl Gumsley,
“Presently practices from his Chambers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he lives; and is due to arrive on Thursday 27 October”
Welcome Mr Carl Gumsley to Malvinas Argentinas, currently occupied by your colonial “power”in decline.

We have a Governor in Australia and Canada too, I suppose you're also claiming that we currently occupy those nations, too?

Marcos Alejandro ////and your point is what,
Sep 14th, 2011 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you must be indiginouse to the country that you represent,
then that leaves out 99% of argentinians then, does it not,
So More crap if we are a colonial power in decline, what does that make an Argentina unable to do anything to get a hold of the islands? An impotent flea in decline?
Sep 14th, 2011 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I could have added that Sukey is a 3rd generation Falklander.
Sep 14th, 2011 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The role of the Governor is as representative of the Head of the State, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Governor does not wield any power, decisions are down to the FIG.
Funny isnt it that the likes of Geo, Marcos (and billy I thought better of you but maybe you were just poorly informed on this one) are typical of so many Argentines- the one 2 things they cannot stand and will not accept are:
Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0TRUTH and REALITY
The Islands Elected Members drew up our Constutution - yes with legal assitance from paid civil servants here and in London to get all the legal jargon correct - but the principles and the issues and points in our Constitution were decided on and made into Law - Here!!
Reality for the uninformed is that under UN LAW the UK is responsible for “Good Governance” in its overseas territories and has to report on them to the UN. Hence it is pretty logical that London has to approve our Laws - they have - to abide by UN Law - to ensure that our laws are open and democratic and politicians here are not lining their pockets.
Billy nows full well - as does Marcos that neither The Governor - nor the Chief Executive (he is merely the senior civil servant who manages the Govt machine) nor the Attorney General can VOTE in Govt Sessions - FULL STOP. Because they are indeed not elected.
Geo of course just prattles mindles irrelevant crap.
Islander1, You got that right, they are not elected, but in charge of the colony.
Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Emma was elected, do you know what happened to her?
Fired For Disagreeing with the special interests may be?
So Marcos, apparently its unknown for elected officials to be removed from public office in Argentina?
Sep 14th, 2011 - 09:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you actually think before you open your big mouth?
Marcos - please list some facts that show unelected officials being in charge of the Govet here and making policy decisions?
Sep 14th, 2011 - 10:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0MLA Emma is still an MLA! - what happened was that a large majority(its called democracy) of her elected fellows voted to remove her from a particular Department portfolio. It would appear that she was against the major policies of that dept - Policies which had been agreed in advance by a majority(democracy) of fellow elected MLAs.
No you tell me - if a Minister in Christina,s cabinet opposes the decision of the cabinet and president and continues to obstruct that policy in Govt - does that Minister remain if office - your answer please?
MoreCrap doesn't understand 'democracy' ... it's a new concept in Argentina. Still flawed there too !
Sep 15th, 2011 - 01:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sukey Cameron looks just like Donald's cousin Gus lol

Sep 15th, 2011 - 03:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0More crap I'm baffled:
How can somebody be in “charge” of a colony, yet not be able to enact legislation or influence internal policy in any manner....
Or how can somebody be “fired” yet still be in the same job??!!?
Looks like with the absence of FernandoAvez More crap is flying the flag for the league of inbred Argentines :)
