Falklands Effect

When a country, a group, or an individual which might have been expected to tamely accept the theft of its possessions or other bullying fights back, and thus sends a message that it, they, him, or her, is not to be trifled (or f--cked) with by the bully or by anyone else.Similar to the Stonewall Effect (q.v.)



Falklands Effect
When a states-person is saved by events beyond their control, normally the manifesting as a polling spike. Named for the effect of the Falklands War on the British 1983 General Election, and closely related to the Machiavellian concept of 'Fortuna'.
Example:
The Tory victory after the 2008 crash shows that the Falklands Effect still has a part to play.
