Allow uk citizens who pay uk tax a vote in uk.
Currently if you have lived abroad for 15 years you lose your right to vote in uk elections even if you are paying uk taxes. Taxation without representation.
One of the founding arguments leading up to the American revolution was that British taxes were taken from colonists whilst at the same time they were not allowed representation in the uk parliament. No taxation without representation was later built into the American constitution when they split from the uk.
