    A poll of 1600 people?
    A poll of a similar size (2013) rather overrules that.

    The Falklands very rarely make the national newspapers but on the rare occasions that it does the Support for the Falklands is overwhelming ,

    Think,
    You do an online poll on a topic many have little idea about and don't know the history of etc - you tend to get people ticking the easiest box with little understanding of the issues - meaningless. Like you can guarantee that very very few of those 1600 know that you have our Sov written into you constitution so if talks ever opened - there can only be one answer acceptable to Argentina!

    Rare that we agree, Trunks, but I also wonder why MercoPress has bothered with this obscure poll.

    The UK is an Administrative Power with obligations over its NSGTs. The views of the population of the Administrative Power, legally, carry no weight. That said, last time I looked, 49% was a minority.

    If the poll is correct than I wonder if you asked them the same question but about their homes being given away, I bet there would be a vastly differant result. People forget that if aggression is allowed to thrive the whole world becomes a risk.
    Clearly the people of Britain have never experienced actions to steel their homes.

    Jupppppp..., Copper...

    - PenguinPress normal style is to bring long, i teresting articles of some Whiff-Whaffer Engrish Prime Minister celebrating at Chrismas the paid membership of the Malvinas Isles to a Whiff-Whaff Association with some 270 (fee-paying) “National Members” in a World of 195 Nations... ;-)))

    On the other hand..., this “DECLASSIFIED.UK” site looks quite interessting in me humble Olof-Palmian World View...

    I take it that you defining it as “Obscure” is reason enough for you not to include any mention of it on your biased “Timeline”...

    I brought the Timeline to an end in 2020, Trunks.
    500 years from Magellan seemed appropriate.

    Obscure, because I have insufficient information as to who could vote.
    Obscure because the organisation is unknown to me.
    Clearly, I shall do some research.

    O'Really...
    Why should you...?
    - I “Clearly” remember you stating years ago that even if it was just a single Penguin left in them Windblown Islands..., it would be a British Penguin..., and as such..., defended at any cost...
    Have you changed opinion lately...?

    One Penguin = One British Penguin

    One British Penguin is worth two Malvinistas any day of the week.

    The only thing that would concern me trunks, is if the sun didn't rise one morning.

    Of course, Gauchito Drink's strong point is his ability to fabricate lies, second only to his ability to steal. It goes with the territory I guess...

    Why is it that the Argentines always deviate away from the stories that mercopress post as soon as anyone comments.
    Is it because they want to only have their constant propaganda spread or maybe they have nothing else in life to do but personally attack everyone to get attention.
    Time mercopress introduced some rules as to how comments should be made. Propaganda comments should be removed or the commentators removed if they persist with personal insults. All it fies is goads others into retaliating.
    I dugest that all comments should be strictly on line with the subject.

    Well..., Falklands-Free lad..., as the only confirmed Argie in here..., I assume that you are talking to me...
    - “Strictly In line with the subject”..., the above British “strictly in line” poll doesn't leave much room for “strictly in line”comments when it clearly states..:

    Argentine sovereignty: 49,0%
    Shared sovereignty: 19,7%
    UK sole sovereignty: 20,9%
    Depends......: 10,4%
    (The poll included 1,347 random votes...)

    “On the other hand..., this “DECLASSIFIED.UK” site looks quite interesting”

    It would be to a straw-grasper, but in the unlikely event that what they claim is even true.
    What the opinion of vox populi anywhere, counts for nothing, as those that have recourse to self-determination hold the whip hand.

    49%?

    That's still a minority, Trunks

    Even if the poll had any validity..... drawn up, apparently, by one Richard Norton-Taylor. Ex-Guardian and the recent 'revealer' of information that the British sent nuclear weapons to the South Atlantic in 1982. Despite everyone knowing that already.

    Ever the staunch National Socialist, Gauchito drink always supports torture, rape and genocide. I mean, look at who he supports... the Communist Cuban government, Putin's Russian dictatorship,the Narcokleptocracies of Venezuela and Argentina. He's got blood on his hands, but that's not a problem for him, he gets to lick it off...

    As we have seen before, about 85% of the voters are Argentinos. A web poll is always worthless.
