the falklands are to be given a referendum on if they wish to remain under UK ownership
this is what william hague had to say
Quote:
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "The British Government has been consistent in its view that the future of the Falklands can only be determined by the people who live there.
"So the Prime Minister and I support this initiative to demonstrate - without doubt - the definitive view of the Falkland Islands people
In a region that rightly prizes democracy and human rights, it is entirely appropriate that the Islanders can express this fundamental right. The principle of self-determination is a key part of the United Nations charter.

so then why do they get a referendum yet we dont on the EU ?
maybe its because they know damn well the flaklanders will vote to stay under the UK and they know damn well we would vote to get out the EU .Only get a choice if the expected result is what they want .
