1960 Falkland Islands general election

The Falkland Islands general election of 1960 was held on 24 and 25 March 1960 to elect members to the Legislative Council. Four out of the twelve Councillors were elected through universal suffrage, two from Stanley and one each from East Falkland and West Falkland. The Legislative Council was intended to be dissolved on 29 February 1960 but to suit farming arrangements it was dissolved almost two months early, on 2 January.

gollark: Apparently, yes.
gollark: Nuclear waste is probably a problem, but less than climate change and the giant piles of spent lithium-ion batteries which would probably result from using batteries/solar.
gollark: Definitely nuclear power. It runs constantly unlike solar and whatnot, doesn't produce CO2, and uses fuel which we have enough of for a while and could use much more efficiently if there was much of an incentive to.
gollark: I'm also hoping some sort of comparatively cheap geoengineering-type solution is developed for climate problems, because otherwise we have basically no chance of hitting the not-heating-the-world-up-a-lot targets, unless the world ends up with a totalitarian ecodictatorship or something.
gollark: Though wiping out lots of species is *probably* not a great idea, since we rely on ecosystems functioning.
