All expat UK citizens should be represented at Westminster by an overseas MP.
British citizens who have lived abroad for 15 years or more are currently denied all voting rights in the UK.
The creation of an overseas constituency would give all British citizens representation in parliament.
In the current post referendum climate many overseas residents wish to contact an MP at Westminster, 'their' MP, but find that nobody can receive their requests.
An overseas MP would allow all British citizens' voices and doleances to be heard.
