Trying their luck?

Yeah but, ignoring legal technicalities, surely it'd be immoral to displace the 3,000 or so people who live there purely because its closer to another country. Same as anywhere in the UK tbh, Shetland, Orkney etc.

I never suggested that I would support a change in sovereignty to the Islands. All I said was that it would be easier in The Falklands, given the legal technicalities, to do so. Personally, I'm fascinated by them and any other BOT .

As for the Shetland and Orkney Islands, that a different kettle of fish entirely. They do ahve their own distinct culture, but they are a fully represented entity within the UK political system (Holyrood and Westminster).
