Good news-the last thing the Falkland Islands Government need is a friendly administration that tries hearts and minds in trying to con the Islands, however unpleasant it is listening to a scratched record.

But for the Argentines, a bad thing as they will never benefit from the money and jobs they might get from the Falklands if they were good neighbours.
However, if a benevolent Argentine government dropped their claim, that would be good as the Argentines could enjoy jobs and actually receive financial benefit from the oil revenue rather than getting jack squit.
The best possible outcome financially for Ushuaia and Santa Cruz would be to return the territory to the Falklands (right of first settlement), so that the region could be successful and provide full employment for the Argentines who will become Falkland Islanders.
Just goes to show how many people are on the government titty.
