This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Allow ALL British Expats to vote on Brexit in a new Referendum or an Addendum.
It was wrong to Disenfranchise a large body of British Citizens who have lived & worked Overseas from Voting on an issue that directly & strongly affects us. Initially we were led to believe an exception to the 10 year rule would be made allowing us to Vote but this did not happen.
