> I don't think this will ever get fixed since Americans abroad also don't have any representation in congress. Overseas Americans are theoretically represented in Congress at their last American domicile. In practice, this is difficult to achieve. For example, many places will not mail absentee ballots overseas. And of course, the Congressman for your last American domicile probably isn't that concerned about your interests overseas. This makes it disturbingly similar to the "virtual representation" that the colonies had in Parliament. Also, the United States now practices more "taxation without representation" than the United Kingdom. Commonwealth citizens residing in Britain can vote in British elections. EU citizens cannot vote for the British Parliament, but they can vote for the devolved Scottish and Welsh Parliaments.
