An MP (or MPs) for Ex-Pats living in the EU & beyond

With Brexit and all that is going on in the EU/UK at the moment should Ex-Pats in the EU (and beyond) not have some representation in Partliament based on the numbers living abroad?

The other side of "No taxation without representation" is "No representation without taxation".

This exists in France for French citizens living worldwide. My daughter in Germany has her "own" député in the Assemblée Nationale, but whether his and the other 10's voices are heard is another matter.

You must be joking, since when did the UK government care a shit about those who turned their back on the Uk and dared to live permanently abroad, even though for a lot they spent all their working life paying their dues.I have lived in France for well over 30 years and more than once been called a traitor who has turned my back on the UK.
