Big ask but given enough time not impossible...................
I'm guessing you have never actually asked a Falklander that question. I have never met a resident who would do anything but resist Argentinian rule with their last breath. Similarly I have never met an Argentinian who was willing to let the UK keep the islands using anything less than force.
Make no mistake, there is no "winning over" - if we hand the islands over to Argentina it will be in flagrant denial of the islanders wishes. I'm not saying the UK hasn't done that before - but we need to be clear on the reality of the islander's perspective.
