On that note no I don’t agree with the silly idea of representation being dependent on taxation status.I do believe that a non tax paying Brit has the right to vote on issues affecting Britain like Brexit within the current rules.I think that taxation status is important.
If someone is liable to pay tax (they have a status as being UK tax payers) even if their tax bill is zero, they should have a right to vote.
We agree there?Does someone who was once a UK tax payer, but no longer has a tax liability, (no UK tax liability status) due to emigration, have a right to vote?
We can read what the rules are, so maybe I should instead ask,
Should they have the right to vote?And what of foreign nationals living and working in the UK, and paying full UK taxes, income NI and VAT etc? These have full UK tax liability status.
Again the rules are there, but should they have a vote?Must admit, I find these questions difficult to sort out myself.
So who is a Brit?
Someone who emigrated to Aus two years ago and doesn’t intend returning?
Someone born in ■■■ who has a job, home and pays taxes in the UK, and intends bringing up kids here?
Someone who holds a UK passport but lives in the UK part-time only, and doesn’t pay tax here?
I’d guess the Sudeten German voting Czechoslovakia out of existence in favour of the 3rd Reich v the free Czech ex pat fighting to get his country back is the relevant analogy which covers all the bases in this case.IE the issue of taxation v representation is totally irrelevant anyway in that comparison.While the reason why you find it all difficult to understand or want to understand is because you’re obviously on the side of the Federation over the Nation State which contradicts any notion of the so called ‘Brit’ because you don’t recognise the Nation Sate status of this country only the 4th Reich EU.Which makes you closer to the Sudeten German wanting to vote Czechoslovakia out of existence in favour of the 3rd Reich than the ex pat Free Czech ( or Australian ex pat Brit ).
Assuming that Australia can even be classed as a foreign country as opposed to an independent autonomous ethnic Brit based state.Which is why the Globalists are so keen on an immigration policy there which discriminates against Brits in favour of more Asian immigration.
