And many people who were born here did not have a vote e.g. those
using EU freedom of movement to work in Europe.

There's a reason there's an "ex" in ex-pat.

So you don't want immigrants to UK to vote because they wern't born
here and you don't want people who were born here to be able to vote
either. That does not make any sense.

Born here and living here. If you've ****ed off to live in another
country you absolve any right to have an influence on whether your
country of birth remains in the EU since it is no longer your concern.
And if all those chavs and criminals living on the costas are worried
about their status when we exit then they should apply for Spanish
citizenship. Ditto anywhere else.



What about those working abroad on fixed term contracts of a few years
duration?


Thats different. I'm talking about people who've gone to live abroad with
no intention of returning.


So UK migrants should get Spanish citizenship and vote in Spain
But Spanish migrantr who get UK citizenship shoould not have a vote in
UK?
