Give us a vote: we’ve got most to lose if UK quits

[Ghost Dog]

2. Is it really 15 years now? Last I was aware it was 10 years,

and not ten years since you left the UK, but ten years since you were last registered to vote in the UK. Last time I tried to recover the vote I was told there was no way since I had never been registered to vote (where I lived last time, in Kensington & Chelsea, there wasn't much point in voting for who I would have voted for).

There is information-sharing between EU tax offices, and we all have passports, so they know who we are, where we live since when.

There is a big difference between someone living quite close to home as a UK and an EU citizen, and someone who has permanently emigrated to Canada, Australia or wherever...

Regardless of how long we have been away, or if we ever voted in UK elections, UK citizens resident in another country of the EU should of course have a vote in this referendum. The result, if negative, can affect our resident status in the EU, and even our right to return to live in the UK.
