Voting is a privilege of being a citizen.
At least you get access to a bunch of benefits thanks to the UK (used to) being part of EU. I'm a non EU citizen working in the UK and I don't get any of that if I lose my job. I don't have any problem with not being able to vote.
Although funny enough, my spouse is Australian, and being a commonwealth citizen, he can vote here
- anonymousDan 10y agoWhy the hell should commonwealth citizens get a vote and not EU citizens?
- nicky0 10y agoThem's the rules. General elections in the UK are open to British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens residing in the UK. As set out in the Representation of the People Act 1918.
