By Councillor Mike Summers – Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly
The issues of Argentina, defence and security and self-determination always play an important, if not overly explicit part in Falklands elections. Whilst the Argentines never did own the Falklands as they claim, and there was no indigenous population to expel as they claim, they continue to assert an anachronistic and entirely unjustified claim to sovereignty in international fora.
