As a British citizen, I feel I should have had the choice. I never took American citizenship, knowing I was going to come home.Had you lived here, rather than New York, then you would have got to vote.

The scrapping laws initiated by the EU is mainly cloud cuckoo land as well. A massive proportion of them are directly derived from international standards or agreements stemming from international treaties we're going to have to follow still.I know but it's easier to say swiss deal or some kind of swiss multi trade deal. Considering we are getting rid of lots of laws that have an EU influence by a stopwatch method basically, it be interesting to see if these can be stopped by the various ministers and slightly altered.
The really great thing is we all got a vote.--The really great thing is we all got a vote. Our chance to express our choice, for our reasons.
I have watched the transformation from a Common Market I would be happy to support, into the EU with its far broader purpose, remit, identity, control and ambitions.
I didn't and don't want that complete integration to continue.
The irony of course being we have to abide by ALL EU trade laws when it comes to dealing with the EU as part of the trade agreement, otherwise it comes under WTO rulesThe scrapping laws initiated by the EU is mainly cloud cuckoo land as well.

EU nationals are not British, why should they have got a vote.The really great thing is we all got a vote.--
No we didn't-
Brits people who lived in the EU or other countries did not get a vote.
EU nationals living in this country did not get a vote.
And the people who will have to live with this decision did not get a vote- the under 18's
No way was that a democratic vote
EU nationals should have had the vote if they were living in the UK. Under 18s are the ones who will suffer most.EU nationals are not British, why should they have got a vote.
Under 18's do not get a vote in GE's either; consistent.
Your opinion, I disagree.EU nationals should have had the vote if they were living in the UK. Under 18s are the ones who will suffer most.
Then how do you know that with a return to SM and CU, the majority will have got what they voted for?There are so many reasons why different people voted to leave.
About the under 18s suffering worst? They are the ones who are already missing out on the benefits of EU membership.Your opinion, I disagree.
EU nationals had a right to vote in British Elections.EU nationals are not British, why should they have got a vote.

I simply did not want to be sucked into an ever concentrated and centralised Europe I simply don't identify with.
It's borderline criminal how the (and I'm generalising I know) the old screwed the young. 16 year olds had way more skin in this game than, for example, 60+ year olds.EU nationals should have had the vote if they were living in the UK. Under 18s are the ones who will suffer most.
If people haven't realised already they will shortly find out how irrelevant a medium size nation state is in an era of continent size economic blocs. Economically and militarily irrelevant with a vestige of cultural significance, but that's about it.It's borderline criminal how the (and I'm generalising I know) the old screwed the young. 16 year olds had way more skin in this game than, for example, 60+ year olds.
It's never the Brexit leavers voted for, it's absolutely the Brexit remainers voted against.At the moment, we seem to be doubling down on that decision rather than trying to make the best of it. It seems like a lot of the leavers are happy to say 'nothing to do with me now', you lot get on with it. It seems it will only take a change of government for things to change, but I have little confidence in labour finding a good solution.
You answered your own question. Many EU nationals were not UK residents either through choice or lack of qualification so therefore were not entitled to vote.Some of my relatives are EU Nationals and they were able to vote in the Referendum as they were permanent residents and tax payers in the UK. - where has the information come from they could not vote in 2016?
