Expats can vote in the UK for up to 15 years after their move abroad. Is that fair? Should people who have made a clear choice to live abroad, say after 5 years- have the right to vote when they will NOT have to live with the consequences of their choice?
What do you think?
All my life in the UK, I was allowed to vote in Switzerland on the 1000s of referendums (I know sp!) and elections- but I never did. A) because when you don't live in a country you can't really grasp all the implications and B/ because as said above, I would not have had to live with the consequences- as I had NO intention whatsoever of ever going back.
I voted this time as we have children and grand-children back in the UK, and intend to go back at some point in the future.
