We would honor the Antilles independence as soon they want to. They love to bash the Netherlands but so far hold-off from independency.
And as soon as the Falklanders express that sentiment then Im sure the UK Government would wish them well and let them go

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.
I'm sorry just because there are more of them dosnt give them extra rights you either have the right to self determination or you don't and as for the economy the Falklands ticks along nicely with fishing and tourism and when the oil comes on line will probably richer than Holland.

And Venezuela, Curacao has a good cooperation with them.
Just as well because you couldn't really defend them could you
