Brian Cave of Pensioners Debout speaks to Expatsradio.com about the limited voting rights for Expats.
The current situation is that while the ex-pat (European) community is generally able to vote in local and EU elections, those who have been resident outside the UK for more than 15 years are denied the right to vote in a national election unless, of course, they have adopted another nationality. It is also clearly understood that most European Union and some other States grant ex-pat voting rights in perpetuity. The aim is to either extend the duration of time within which ex-pat UK citizens may vote in UK general elections or grant the vote for life.
