Claiming "self determination" proved insufficient sofar. Probably because it assumes the current inhabitants are the rightfull, historic owners. Most of the world seems to put question marks around that.
So I take it you class the Dutch Antilles the same way if say Venezuela disputed their vote and lets face it they are a lot nearer to Venezuela than the Falklands are to Argentina.

It's not about Keesje, but the rest of the world, including friends and allies. And no, it won't stop after the referendum the Brits created.
The "Brits" didn't create the vote the Falkland Islanders did. The simple truth is as long as they wish to remain a British protectorate then everyone else can go whistle!
