Europeans can register to vote too if resident and there are a lot of countries in the commonwealth. I expect the number of people who cannot vote is relatively small, although I am surprised there are any. I agree they should be able to. No taxation without representation and all that.

I think we're mostly in agreement in practice but iirc EU citizens (except Ireland) can only vote in local and European elections.

I must admit that 'North of the Border' had a more dramatic sound.

More people in Scotland speak Urdu than Gaelic and Irish is still in terminal decline with probably only a few thousand people using it in everyday life.

Welsh is in a much stronger position.
