Remove the voting restriction of UK citizens living abroad.
Citizens of the UK and Northern Ireland have been excluded from from voting because they settled in another country legally. This was introduced because of no clear reason.
It is a view that all citizens of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland should be always be given a vote. As long as you are a legal citizen you should be entitled to a vote. Restore their voting rights, all legal citizens (excluding the EU referendum legislation that excluded legal citizens) should be allowed to participate in the democratic process of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
