I don’t know the size of the British population outside the UK, and how big of a problem this would be.
I honestly don’t know where the line should be drawn though.
Kind of feel like if you have dual citizenship, you should only be allowed to vote in one country.
Kind of feel like if you haven’t lived in your native country for more than a decade, you probably shouldn’t be voting for anything more than a national election like voting for US President… but not being from the UK, I’m not sure if there is any such votes; if I recall correctly, the party with the most MPs gets to choose Prime Minister? Voting in anything regional would just seem odd.
But then again, allowing that national vote is how you end up with Turkey, Erdogan and the value of the Turkish Lira.
I managed to end up in a sort of grey area where I’m a UK citizen, and I still have money and other interests in the UK, and I still go back regularly, but I’m also a permanent resident overseas, so I haven’t been allowed to vote anywhere for a couple of years. So it’s nice to get that back.
As I said in another comment, I also fully intend to use it to help bury the Tories lol.

Tough problem, good luck UK.
