I see the new Legco site says - as if it were a good thing - that there are no political parties, and no formal opposition. Call me cynical, but I'm sure certain people would like to keep it that way.
This article should reflect that there has been at least one party I know of on the island. -- MacRusgail ( talk) 20:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
(Unindent) - Quote: "Mike [Rendell] was one of three candidates to stand in the last election for a new "Desire the Right" party, which aimed to give people more of a say in local affairs...
"'There's a lot of superstition in the Falklands about a party system, which I find difficult to understand. With the financial situation now being undertaken locally, one would have thought it would have been a good idea to have so many people involved in making policies as possible, because as individuals some of us were extremely frustrated with what seemed a lack of decision being taken by our Council.'"

Re: "The loss of the war against Britain over control of the islands accelerated the collapse of the Argentine military dictatorship in 1983."
I think this is irrelevant to an article on the politics of the Falklands and would be better placed in an article about argentina or the military dictatorship (Junta) but since its in there already I edited to say that it 'accelerated' the fall of the Junta. We can not really say with certainty what would have happened had the Junta won, only guess some kind of future. So the 'undo' was not reasonable I believe.

The government section of the "Outline of the Falkland Islands" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

Thank you.
The article currently claims that the chief executive is the head of government, a claim I think is slightly erroneous. He's definitely tyhe chief officer of the island's civil service as such, but executive power is clearly vested in the governor, who continues to preside over the ExCo and is responsible for appointments etc. I might go through and tinker with the wording. - Chrism would like to hear from you 15:29, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
