this is the very much the norm for democracies
off the top of my head: Ireland won't let EU citizens vote in referendums (or for president), France won't let EU citizens vote for president (and so-on)
> We were talking about the vote being denied to UK citizens abroad too - UK citizens affected by Brexit who had no say.
the franchise is still quite generous (you can vote for 15 years without being resident)
(anecdotally... everyone I know that voted from abroad voted Leave)
