MLA Gavin Short said speaking as “devil’s advocate said…:
If we ever see a huge downturn in the economy here and people’s living standards slip of course our minds may alter.”

El Tænk says...:

If & when a huge downturn occurs it will certainly NOT be salmon-trout/culture to save your skin...

Highly dependent of imported fodder..., imported medicine & imported technology...
Highly dependent of transport costs from producer to consumer ...
Highly inshore & nearshore polluting industry...
All in all..., a freaking baaaaaaaad idea...
Keep away from it..., Kelpers..

The Falklands has a GDP per capita at about 10x that of Argentina, a huge downturn in their economy might see them on 8x richer than the average Argie.....more likely though is that there would be an even bigger downturn in corrupt Peronist Argie land.

Gooooooood boy...

If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Still no possession of the Islands, in spite of etching your claim on every toilet wall you can find.
