Throughout Andrew’s time in Parliament, he has always backed sovereignty for Britain’s Overseas Territories. As Chairman of several All-Party Parliamentary Groups (A.P.P.G.), Andrew has worked with administrations from the Falkland Islands; the Norfolk Islands as well as the Channel Islands to defend their autonomy.
However, just this week, a Minister of the Argentine Government issued a worrying statement; “If we persist in our opposition, if we expose and denounce colonialism, we will have the opportunity, just as Mauritius is having today. Argentina will have the opportunity to recover those territories that belong to us."
Andrew Rosindell M.P. commented; ‘I will always champion the right to self-determination of all British Overseas Territories and former Colonies – whether they be Falkland Islanders, Gibraltarians, Norfolk Islanders or Chagossians.’
Argentina’s continued policy of ignoring the views of sovereign peoples is doomed to fail. A nation of more than 40 million people pressuring nation states is not an edifying sight. The principle of national self-determination is paramount – and it is only right that Argentina respects the wishes of sovereign people!’
