The Falklands are populated with people who have no desire to be part of Argentina, it would be a different matter if they did but Argentina's actions have more or less guaranteed it will be a very long time before that's likely to happen.

A referendum on political status was held in the Falkland Islands on 10–11 March 2013. The Falkland Islands were asked whether or not they supported the continuation of their status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom in view of Argentina's call for negotiations on the Islands Sovereignty.
On a turnout of 92%, an overwhelming 99.8% voted to remain a British territory, with only three votes against. Had the islanders rejected the continuation of their current status, a second referendum on possible alternatives would have been held. Brad Smith, the leader of the international observer group, announced that the referendum was free and fair and executed in accordance with international standards and international laws.
