there's no need for negotiation because the people wish to remain part of the united kingdom and president could perhaps do a better service to her people by focusing on the failing economy the ridiculously high inflation rate and concentrate on domestic economic policy rather than this. silly and childish saber rattling which does nothing to persuade the people of the falklands that they want to change where they are i mean their party united kingdom they always have been and they always will be ok mr clegg we will have to leave it there thank you very much for your thoughts that is a conservative page john glenn live from london now on r.t. dot com we're asking you what you think argentina's next step will be if with the falkland islanders do decide to stay british let's see how voting stands at the moment forty percent of you say that argentina will declare the vote rigged or illegitimate slightly fewer think faulkland is will be told to move to britain by their south american neighbor fifteen percent expect argentina to announce a new referendum in five years while or just eight percen

now if the people living in scotland decided they no longer wish to become a part of the united kingdom we would respect those wishes and all we're asking is that argentina respects the wishes of the people who live on the island i hear what you say it's a laudable cause but why your colleagues in the us for example for example the e.u. that normally go along with what britain wants not seeing eye to eye with you on this one what are what are you seeing that they're not in argentina is not seeing well i'm not sure that the united states of america would ever say that the people who live on the island should not be able to determine for themselves. they are associated with and it's the same with the european union the fact is that's why i suspect that this referendum which is being called by the fall and ireland britain is really isolated on this some sort of international again has insisted upon i'm sort of pressure again but britain is pretty isolated on this. no i don't believe that the united kingdom is isolated on it but you know even if we were i still believe that it is right that

and this wasn't a tool by the united kingdom actually this was the whole referendum idea came from the falkland islands government it was the falkland islanders themselves that have the right of self-determination and shrine into their constitution as the falkland islanders themselves have decided to exercise this right of self-determination now david cameron in london said that he would back the falkland islanders no matter what the outcome of the vote and they he has done so in argentina needs to listen the people of the falkland islands want to remain british it's very clear alex is it an either or situation here as it was just described. pretty much unfortunately we have to look at this from historical perspective i think both of argentina alone have been fighting for control of the island. and making sense of. the day when the u.k. is accused of how and explain their arguments they used to leave their lands in the brawl in their own people and we see depending on who you ask nor are you or a british historian going to tell you different version of probably just plain history. obvi
