Majority still regret leaving EU

But you were quite happy for millions of Commonwealth citizens like Mohammed who had just arrived from Pakistan the week before to vote last time?

Ex pats are allowed to vote in UK national elections without time limits of absence (previously 15 years) since last week. It was a Tory promise and has come into practice.
Good, eh?

By the way token, just like Buccaneer you are quite relaxed about extending the full franchise to Mohammed the Pakistani who just arrived last week simply because the country he came from is a member of the Commonwealth?

To help you decide this knotty problem, you should also know that Mohammed homeland would not reciprocate for British citizens resident there. Only a handful of Commonwealth countries do, mostly tiny islands in the Caribbean.

Bit of a swerve there Vinny, we're discussing eligibility to vote in national elections not employment prospects or criminal record. Mohammed can do that but Dariusz can't, and nor could British citizens resident abroad until very recently.

Do you think it's a good thing that millions of Commonwealth citizens from countries like Pakistan, Nigeria, India, Cameroon and Mozambique should have the full right to vote in all British elections, even though British citizens resident there don't have reciprocal rights?

If so, can you explain why?

Now you're just being silly.

Not so.
