I'd love to be able to vote in my chosen country of residence, if only in local elections, & would take a greater interest if allowed. I feel quite pissed that despite my not inconsiderable contributions to the French exchequer I'm allowed no voice in local & national politics.
Why can't you vote in local elections?

Mad27. You must have another European union country nationality to vote in local elections. Those Brit only nationals lost that right to vote along with ALL the other brexshit benefits

I know what you mean . . . but shouldn't that be "EU benefits". "Brexshit benefits" is what BoJo is touting.

Apologies if this has already been posted - ‘As a foreigner I cannot vote but a French person is voting for me’ - I've only just come across it :roll:
