Alexander: 'Falkland islanders resisted pressure from Argentina'

The Falkland islanders have resisted overt and unhelpful pressure from the Argentinean government in the run-up to this referendum.

This referendum was a democratic process, overseen by international observers and has now made clear, once and for all, the view of the islanders.
