If you have moved somewhere then you accept the conditions of the move. If that means you cannot vote in the country you have left then you accept that. As for the people in the country you have left they (including me) do not want you voting for representives in the country we live in as you do not live here so you interference in not welcome. There are E-petitions for things like giving Gib back to the Spanish to get rid of the PITA of some Brit Expats causing problems which cost HMG a disproportionate amount of money and hassle.

as a good friend of mine in Singapore used to say
"never happen Johnny"

it isn't expats that are causing the problems
you will be telling me next that we should give the Falklands "back" to Argentina - after so many people have died to keep it, and Jersey back to the French because it is nearer to France than England.
