Falkland Islanders Vote 'Yes' In Referendum To Remain Part Of Britain.

The people of the Falklands have delivered one of the most emphatic votes in recent history when 99.8 per cent of those taking part in a referendum on the future of the islands said yes to remaining a British overseas territory. 

Argentina must bee seething with rage. . . 

(Telegraph.co.uk) - Just three people responded with the answer “No” to the question: "Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?” A total of 1513 answered in the affirmative.

In truth, the outcome of the poll was never in doubt, but the size of the Yes vote, combined with a turnout of 92 per cent, provoked gasps and cries of “Listen to us!” from the crowd gathered inside Port Stanley town hall.
