I don't think you understand. Spain want Gibraltar to excluded from the agreement to cause them hardship so they are (in their eyes) more amenable to a Spanish flag flying over the rock. And before any of you lovely Canadians start on imperialism blah blah, the descendants of British people in Gibraltar have been there almost as long as the earliest Brits in Canada. If their history and people are of no interest, what does that say about newer countries formed on other peoples former land? cough cough.
