British expats in France: what do you think about voting from abroad?

Have you registered to vote yet? All you need is:

✅ Passport (current or expired)

✅ National Insurance number

✅ Part of your last address in the UK

It takes 5 minutes to register and the process has been made very simple

To register, head to the government website: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Thank you for posting this - I didn't know that it had changed. I'm in California, but should get French citizenship by this summer.

I am a us citizen and am registered to vote. I would be outraged to be disenfranchised by politicians because I live abroad. Im frankly shocked that this has been the case for UK citizens.  I look forward to seeing the responses that you get.  My question isn't how do they feel about being "granted" the franchise, but how they tolerated being stripped of their vote.

@Sepharad It didn't seem unfair, given that I'd been out of the UK for 15 years. However, the UK doesn't have citizenship based taxation, which would change my position.

I still have to right to live and work in the UK, should they ever get their act together ..
