A foregone conclusion:-

United Nations: The Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonisation Committee) is hosting its 78th session of the General Assembly in New York from today to 11th October, covering topics including the decolonisation of the 17 remaining Non-Self-Governing Territories (as defined by the UN).
Gibraltar will argue its case again to be removed from the list.
The UN will ignore it.

Please note the UN promised to remove all Non Self Governing Territories from the list by the year 2000

Caretaker government or no government, could you choose which one you're going with?

Vox didn't get their foot in the door, which I think most people would agree is a good thing, and now someone else has a try at forming a government according to constitutional rules. It's not some anarchy state.

UN: The UK government has published its speech to the fourth committee of the United Nations in recent days which Gibraltar could not attend due to the election. “The UK will not enter into arrangements under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the sovereignty of another state against their freely and democratically expressed wishes. The United Kingdom also reaffirms that it will not enter into a process of sovereignty negotiations with which Gibraltar is not content.”

Labour Party: The UK’s commitment to Gibraltar would be “unshakable” under a Labour Government that would also defend the right of the Gibraltarians to decide their own future, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Catherine West, said on Monday at the Labour Party conference.

Yesterday Gibraltar reelected the GSLP (Gibraltar Socualist Labour Party) into power. They have now been in power since 2011

Decolonisation in New York has been “all words and no action” for 60 years when it comes to Gibraltar, Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia, said on Wednesday as he called on future generations to see the Rock through the prism of democracy and human rights, not a territorial claim.
Dr Garcia’s address marked 60 years since Gibraltar first appeared before the UN, where representatives have continuously called for the Rock to be struck off the list off non-self-governing territories.Over the years, Gibraltar has appeared repeatedly before the Fourth Committee and Committee of 24 and watched as other colonies have been struck off the list.

Dr Garcia called on the representatives of former colonies like India, Australia, Canada and South Africa, as well as smaller nations like Grenada, St Lucia and Nauru, who have also achieved decolonisation.

He asked for the same route-map others have used before and to move ahead with their mandate.

There are more people in Spain so that is a fight the rock will lose.

Good luck to you though..

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

I believe you have misunderstood the implications of that statement.

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

But not in the eyes of the Spanish government even in Spain

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

Given that only a few thousand Brits live in Gibraltar, does anybody care.

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

Does that include the wishes of the 96% of the massive turnout who voted against Brexit?

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

The 96% that you keep harping on about voted against brexit, they did not vote to be part of Spain, and never will.
