Well, better late than never! At last the British government is going to give British citizens living abroad the vote for life and revoke the 15-year rule. This is fantastic news and will mean that soon thousands of British voters, whose voice has been unheard for many years, will be able to have their say on voting day. The government is living up to its election pledge which was made about two years ago. But unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of British citizens abroad were unable to vote in the referendum on European Union membership.

Most of the comments on here from ex-pats before the vote seemed to be in favour of an exit. Madness in my opinion but if turkeys wish to vote for Christmas then that is their democratic right.
The difference of the referendum vote, was around two and a half million. Would that number of ex pats have made that amount of difference ?. Should they all have voted to stay,and assuming there are two and a half million ex pats.
