Falklands Referendum: The Islanders Have Spoken

What I can't fathom is who were the 3 who voted against?

Or were there 3 jokers just having a laugh?

[shoota]

They'll be the Argentinian 'sleepers'.....

[ABerrant]

Voting results of 100% are the reserve of despots and tyrants. Having a few dissenters lends credence to a democratic vote that not even Argentina may dispute (ha ha!)

[emmie]

Argentina wants the islands, the islands don't want Argentina, seemples..

[albaqwerty]

I wonder if the 3 people will be 'outed' by the rest and then ostracised?

[emmie]

or pingwinged...

[BlueToffee]

What a complete waste of money!

[emmie]

why is it, if you said the same about here that wouldn't be presumably.

[Wharton]

Perhaps the '3' weren't sheep.

[DTCwordfan]

three realists?

[ludwig]

Probably ticked the wrong box by mistake.

[mushroom25]

probably due to the way the question was worded, they maybe believed they were voting for independence from Britain.

[youngmafbog]

Independence from Britain, yes so they have no protection. Good one.

Clearly the people have spoken their desire. We shall see now those on the world stage who believe in democracy, those that pay lip service and those that believe in dictatorship etc.

"There was a turnout of more than 90% from 1,672 British citizens eligible to vote in a population of about 2,900."

Out of interest, who were the 1300 who weren't allowed to vote?

[bibblebub]

were they baa'd?

[Kromovaracun]

^ ACtually, that's a really stupid question. I forgot that children exist for a second.

Ignore it, sorry, it was stupid.

[Kromovaracun]

(referring to my post obviously, not bibble's)

[Wharton]

^under 18s?

[bibblebub]

(mine was also quite stupid)

[Wharton]

^sorry K, I didn't see your retraction.

Memo to Alex Salmond here: only hold a referendum if know you're going to win it :-)
