It should become an independent country. :P

[ordos45]

Poll added.

[HasimirFenring]

Yay, first to vote.  The people seem to want to stay under British rule, so let them.

[Andrew]

Can someone explain who/what Girbraltar is?

that might help a bit.

Let them decide. They voted to remain British, let 'em.

[nemafakei]

Give them Northen Ireland. Require that they evacuate Ceuta and Melilla first.

The Brits will never hand over Gibraltar without a fight, its the northern hot spot for controlling the sea passages ( mediterrean - atlantic )

[Cyborg]

There is no place called Girbraltar... Please correct the misspelling.

[Wolf]

After 300 years, isn't Gibraltar pretty British?

[Dante]

Yes, though it is rather amusing to hear people loudly proclaim their British-ness in Spanish accents.

[Seal89999]

Let them stick with the Brits....seems thats what they want to do.

Who voted give it back to Spain?

>:(

[Apollyon]

Morons?

[Dunenewt]

Sounds about right.

[Khan]

I say it should have independence.

[Dante]

Why?

[HasimirFenring]

Becuase it would be funny.

You know what, I think Andrew has the right sort of idea. Who cares about Gibraltar? I really do not see why Spain should care about it either.

[rigel6669]

Who cares about Gibraltar?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Gibraltar

The Strait of Gibraltar has a very strategic location. Ships that travel from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and vice versa, pass through this strait overlooked by the Rock of Gibraltar. Also, very many people who travel from Europe to Africa and vice versa, travel through this strait.

Why not US of A take it over un-officially? Taiwan isn't supposed to be an independent country, so it can be possible for Gibraltar too... :)

Hello...

Hasn't anyone watched Das Boot?  :O

[Andrew]

I voted other.

They should import lots of snow from Canada and turn it into a frozen zone where only yeti's and Canadians can live.

Liquor would be duty free of course.

[Dunenewt]

Can we have PEI in return? ;)
