    Exactly.
    And in the case of the red indians in native America? They would have voted to not have England and european countries invade (later to become the US and Canada states). But that didn't stop those invasions.

    So I see no reason (in principle) for the Falklands referendum vote to morally stop Argentina from taking over the Falklands.

      The Falkland were British before Argentina even existed so we stole them legitimately...

          Self-determination. We are actually pretty good about giving up territory when places no longer want us. This lot do.
