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.
the Antilles were created when we did slavery from our West African Colonies, very successfully, a black page in our history. First they were governed from Suriname. We would honor the Antilles independence as soon they want to. They love to bash the Netherlands but sofar hold-off from independency.
The Antilles have 100 x as many inhabitants as the Falklands. Is that really important for this issue? Well, hell, yes, of course! And they have a real economy too. Not some constructed totally dependent survival economy.
And Venezuela, Curacao has a good cooperation with them. They have oil, Curacao the habors, refeneries. Presently Venezuela's state oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) operates a number of oil refineries on the island. Win-win pragmatism beyond the British Falklands?
