British Expats Want To Vote On The EU Referendum

I don't mind the delay they're causing cause hey, British expats are British, and they have the right to vote on national matters even if they're not here.

As the date comes closer, it might just be pushed back as UK expats attempt to overturn a legal ruling that would allow them to vote in the referendum from overseas.

About 700,000 UK nationals are living in different parts of the world. While the law mentions that any expat who has lived for more than 15 years outside the UK isn't eligible to vote in any referendum, I will welcome their demands.

Leigh Day seems to think the same thing as well.

The legal firm said the automatic exclusion breaks existing EU laws. As the UK is still in the EU, it is bound to respect these humanitarian laws.

Leigh Day said those who were excluded from overseas would be the most affected of a possible 

'Brexit' as it would affect their way of life and possibly their livelihoods.

A number of things could happen here. One would be their changed legal citizenship and rights abroad. Some EU countries provide different privileges that Britons can take advantage of in the continent.

A High Court judge is to decide whether to allow the judicial review to go ahead because the rule is legitimate.

Let's wait and see. More votes, more fun.
