“Many were excluded by having been outside the UK for more than 15 years.”

As they should be. They’re legally Britons, but not much more. They presumably like other countries more than they like Britain, so are not exactly impartial on a vote involving Britain.

Also be careful what you wish for. A significant number of UK citizens living in Europe are pro-Brexit. They don’t talk to you about it Natalie, because they’re not on your side. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And you certainly have no right to assume you speak for them.

I have a UK passport but don’t live in Britain. I am pro-Brexit even though I having been looking for work in Europe and it will affect me negatively. I just happen to think that Brexit is better for other people and don’t vote always in my immediate personal interest.

Where were Natalie Bennett and Jon Worth when an EU constitution was being re-titled and imposed upon the EU’s population without a vote?

It seems that these two individuals only believe in real democracy when it suits them.

Bit late for this isn’t it? They will have exactly the same rights after Brexit as they had before. Nothing to see, move on.

Let the vote in their host countries.
