Rejected petition Abolish the 15 year rule to allow British Expatriates their voting rights.

My wife & I have lived in France for 25 years & due to the 15 year rule have been denied a vote in Government Elections & more particularly the Referendum of 2016.

More details

We moved to France into a property to renovate in 1994, having holidayed in the Country for several years before, & fell in love with the pace of life, the People & lots more besides. Our family still reside in England & we & they visit each other regularly.
