Rejected petition Grant British expats the right to vote in British referenda

British expats should have a say in whether the UK leaves the EU or not, i.e. should be allowed to vote in referenda concerning this subject. Expats should also be granted voting rights on any subject that would significantly effect their future lives.

David Cameron: Statement on Europe referendum 22.02.2016
British people will be asked to vote "leave or remain in the EU".

But voting rights were never granted to British expats; despite the fact that their lives and, more important, those of their children would be significantly effected.
