Anyone who is fully paying into the UK tax and N.I. system should IMO get the benefits of the education and NHS and a vote in the future of the UK.
Anyone who no longer resides in the UK, and pays no due taxes or NHI contributions should no longer get those benefits or get a vote.So we’re a net contributor to the EU budget by your logic that means only those countries should get to vote in the EU parliament.While you’ve not answered the the question as to whether the Sudeten Germans had more right to ‘vote’ Czechoslovakia into the 3rd Reich than ex pat free Czechs,many of who didn’t return to the country,had to liberate it by force by fighting for the Allies.
As for ‘the vote’ no one has the right to vote a country out of existence whether domestic or foreign and anyone has the right to vote if they apply for Brit citizenship which unlike Canada and NZ is very easy to do.Which makes your whole argument moot.
I said anyone who
s "fully paying into the UK" system should have a vote. I meant anyone who pays what is lawfully asked of them. I didnt say or mean they had to be net contributors. Those who have been net beneficiaries are entitled to vote in the UK system, and I have no problem with that.
So the rest of your post following that error is, as you might say,“moot”.
You seem to have missed the bit where I said ‘by your logic’ in that you can’t possibly be a ‘tax payer’ if you’re a net beneficiary paying in less tax than you recieve in benefits.IE,unlike you,I don’t buy the taxation/representation argument because that would mean anyone losing their job and claiming unemployment benefits for example loses their right to vote.While you’re just obviously all about applying the taxation/representation argument selectively when/as it suits you.
Having got that out of the way.My point,that Sudeten Germans didn’t have the right to vote Czechoslovakia out of existence and into the 3rd Reich,while free Czech ex pats certainly were in the right to take their country back by force if necessary,which as it turned out certainly was,stands.
