Falklands Desire the Right Way....... The responsible, open, way - TopicsExpress



          

Falklands Desire the Right Way....... The responsible, open, way in which the Falklands are approaching oil production could become a model for many countries to follow. An informed public debate, emphasis on safety and the environment, concern for the social impact, and an awareness that extraordinary income should not lead to current expenditure. A lesson in governance and public management, a lesson in democracy. Unfortunately we often have to comment on the threats from the common, or garden, dictators. Let us never forget though that the Falklands are much more than a battlefield for democracy, although that in itself is most significant, as clear in the constant references by Japanese leaders. The Falklands are also a strong, sustainable, economy, and a cohesive community. This bright future is one of the pillars of their security. One of the Fifth Column arguments in the 70s was that the Islands were not viable, cost money to the UK taxpayer, and needed Argentine investment. Time has proven neither of these three assertions to be true.
