What do you think about Hugo Chavez telling The Queen to give The Falklands back to Argentina?
Q. Here is the story, Considering that The Falklands were British before Argentina existed as country their 'Claim' to the Islands is some what void. Argentina didn't want to respect the wishes of the Falkland Islanders, when they invaded the Islands in 1982 pointing a Gun Barrel at the Islanders who want to remain British, they will remain a British Colony for many years to come. As for Hugo Chavez he's a third world tin pot dictator, does he really have the right to make such demands from a person as powerful and respected as Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth II is head of state and Queen for: the United Kingdom, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea,… [cont.]

A. It's 16 nations by the way, not 15. The news story said: "UK and 15 other nations". Well, she may have a lot to say, probably going to be balanced out on issues across those 16 countries of which she is Head of State of, then issues amongst the 54 member Commonwealth of which she is Head of, along with general world issues. The speech may not be very specific, since each of those 16 countries have different foreign policies, and the Queen would need to ensure that her speech is in line with all of them. This is probably the reason she hasn't addressed the UN for a long time, because her speech would need to reflect the policies of all the countries of which she is Queen of.

A. It's up to these individual countries as to who they have as Head of State, if the don't want the Queen then they can simply opt to have their own Head of State. However the Queen is a more popular Head of State than many political figures or despots like Mugabe. There is also a lot of historical and cultural links between these countries and Britain and having the Queen as Head of State reflects this. The Queen regularly tours these places in order to maintain close links.
