    Its expected that almost all of the Falklands citizen will choose British rule since most of them are of British descent (Falklands was discovered uninhabited by the colonizers)...

    The only Argentinians who were repatriated were the prisoners of war AKA the invaders who surrendered to British forces after the the fall of Port Stanley in 1982. They were sent back on the ocean liner Canberra which ironically the Argentine government had told the public was crippled during conflict. One of several untruths fed to Argentinians by their own regime as propaganda.
