Why are any non-British nationals allowed to vote?
Both Irish and Commonwealth citizens over 18 who are U.K. residents, as well as UK nationals who have lived overseas for less than 15 years and Commonwealth citizens living in Gibraltar will be eligible to vote in the referendum. :eek
As far as I know, it is because of the historical free movement between these countries and it will directly effect these people who live, work and pay UK tax. :thumbup
And to get our own back for 800 years of oppression :lol :lol :lol
