Falklands’ by-election already has a firm MLA, Ian Hansen for the Camp
The Falkland Islands are holding a bye election next December 15, one for each constituency, city and camp. However while the Stanley seat has several hopefuls, Ian Hansen as the only candidate for the Camp Constituency will gain his seat by default and without a clear mandate to shape his performance over the remaining course of this Government.

SECRET DOCUMENT ON ENGLISH SOVEREIGNTY:
Dec 01st, 2011 - 01:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0(The British document the S17111 (AS - 5728/311/2) dated September 17, 1946, was conducted by a British official and is in the Foreign Office in Britain. It was produced under the labels of “SECRET” and “CONFIDENTIAL”.)
A British secret document - the S17111 (AS - 5728/311/2) dated September 17, 1946 - severely questioned Davis and Hawkins versions as the “discovery” of the Islands. Out this possibility on the basis of the enormous differences between the descriptions of the two sailors with the actual conditions of the land, coasts and landforms of the islands. On the other hand, the Falklands were completely depopulated. The chronicle of Hawkins does not match the actual appearance of the islands with a great countryside, quite flat and inhabited temperate.
Strong Whale is accepted by historians, but did not take possession of the islands but simply landing for supplies of fresh water and fresh meat (several species of ducks). In 1580, Queen Elizabeth I expressed serious reservations about territorial claims based solely on findings.
1748. I add here the application submitted to King Charles III of England asking for authorization to the Spanish crown to send a British expedition to the South Sea as it was known at the time the South Atlantic, and seek Malvinas. Spain denied the requested authorization claiming its inviolable sovereign rights over them. Great Britain abides by the decision of Spain, in recognition of the legitimate Spanish titles.
1764. French Colonization by Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Above the so-called “first occupation” by the English who comes two years after the arrival of Mc Bride at Puerto de la Cruz of the Falkland establishing a clandestine naval base at Port Egmont on the island Trin - Para el Soldado Chamame
Good Luck to Mr Hansen, I do hope he can push thru his policies in the two years that he has available and a road building program is badly needed in camp.

u are not a nation, u are part of the UK Common Piratery all around the world. I recommend looking for no risk sovereign land. Hong Kong is waiting for you.

“ 1748 – George Anson’s, ‘A Voyage Round the World’ is published. The Admiral uses the book to promote his argument for the establishment of British bases in the South Atlantic and South Pacific.
Admiral Anson, persuades the Earl of Sandwich and the Admiralty, to send two sloops for the purpose of surveying the Falkland Islands, before moving on into the Pacific Ocean.
The Spanish court is informed and immediately protests.
The mission is postponed, ” .. for the present, and without giving up the right to send out Ships for the discovery of unknown & unsettles Parts of the World.”
Britain’s envoy to Spain, Benjamin Keene, describes the Spanish view of exclusive rights to distant seas as being, ‘whimsical’...”
WHIMSICAL !
