Closed Introduce MPs to represent the interests of British citizens living abroad.

Closed on

Ex-pats abroad need specific support in parliament to represent their interests. Particularly in regard to maintaining their pension rights, their tax status, their voting rights etc particularly since the Uk is no longer in the EU

I would like the government to create a seat or seats for new MPs to represent UK expats living abroad so we are properly represented in parliament and so that democracy is upheld.
Although we still have voting rights in the UK, the MPs of our last residence address do not have specific interest in our different circumstances abroad.
This would be a second attempt for a predictably higher support since the UK is no longer in the EU
