Admittedly, I see myself as being primarily Swiss, but last I heard there was a vote in the Falklands about staying in the UK vs joining Argentina and the vast majority chose staying in the UK. And as far as I know, Argentina's claim on those islands is based on geographical proximity and not much else, in which case it's complete bullshit. Not that the UK has any valid claim on them either, but if the inhabitants prefer to be part of it rather than Argentina, I can't blame them.
