I voted Leave and was the VoteLeave Counting Agent. It is very appropriate and correct that EU migrants who pay national insurance and are council tax paying residents have a say in local government.
It is very important that identity checks are made before Anyone can vote.
Keith, if you you voted for Leave on 23rdJune and you think it means Working EU migrants are deported after Brexit. You are totally wrong.
Just wish UK politicians would be more stronger about UK nationals in the EU.
I was talking about government elections.
but I don't see why anybody who is not a British citizen should have a vote, regardless of haw much tax they supposedly pay.
but immigrants will mostly vote for parties that will give them the most, regardless of how they wouled vote in their own country.
