Presumably they have the passport of the country they were born in. So no,
tough.


Well that's the kids of a lot of service-men scuppered then despite them
having British passports.

British forces bases abroad are british sovereign terrority, so no, they
arn't.


But if they were born to the same parents but in a local hospital, tough?

Wow! I started it, but wonder when Mr Wolmar was last mentioned in it?
Maybe the thread will run beyond the unsuccessful end of his campaign.

Assuming they are on British bases in the first place.

Well, another way of looking at is that people in the forces don't usually
have a choice of where they're posted so I'm sure an exception can be made for
them and their children. Its not the same as someone who chose to go abroad
and have their children born there is it Mr Feather?


How is someone who chooses to work for the forces, knowing that a foreign
posting is likely, different from someone who works for any other industry
and chooses to accept a foreign posting, or someone as already discussed
who takes on a fixed-term contract working overseas?

What about someone who's on holiday and the offspring pops out early?

Being sent somewhere and choosing to go somewhere are 2 entirely different
things.

Don't go on holiday if heavily pregnant. Tough.

In an earlier post you said that expats should not be able to vote in
the country whose passport they have.

I said the approach other governments take to ex-pats is up to them. I don't
care. But if someone has left the UK permenantly they should lose their right
to vote here whether they still have a UK passport or not.

They chose a job with a high likelihood of foreign postings.
