"For that matter there are far more people of Argentine origin in Britain than there are islanders"

So are you kind of saying that the right to self determination does not count if your territory's community happens to be small in number? Seemingly very few people on the Falklands want to be Argentinian and in fact most will be bitterly opposed to it. Why should they, many of whom have been there for generations, be forced to be something they don't want to be? I know that it is an overseas territory so Britain takes care of defence and foreign affairs for them but does that mean we'd have the moral right to ride roughshod over their democratic wishes? Surely if it came to it there may be some way for the UK to give up some of its rights to the resources in the seas there in favour of Argentina without affecting the islanders current status and their rights to self determination which should always be sacrosanct. At least in my opinion!
