    The difference for me is that my partner who is Bulgarian and lived here 14 years paying taxes doesn't have a say in the vote, whereas someone like you who has opted out of the UK to live in another country does.

    I have studied 6 years and just as I have entered the job market my prospects have been drastically reduced by the stupid, ignorant and the misinformed. I am happy to be labelled bitter because I ****ing am.

    One example, Easier access to the world markets taking advantage of our unique position as English speaking nation (the international language of business) legacies from the days of Empire an d trading links and the remnanst of the commonweath. We also are not having to get trade deals negotiated with huge potential markets like China ratified by the EU with potential tariffs added on .

    The EU bloc as a proportion of World Trade is contracting year on year and will continue to do so. The problem we do have to solve is imploding from internal conflict. One part of the problem could be solved with greater trade deals. The biggest problem though is that id we have an extreme right wing Govt the benefits will not be distributed to all. That needs to fundamentally change and is one of the main reasons many voted as they did.

    We are already well behind other EU countries like Germany in trade deals with India and China. That has nothing to do with EU regulations

    They've been badly misled, then. The next Tory government will make the current mob look distinctly left-wing. Still, you reap what you sow...

    Okay, I understand now.

    But doesn't everyone investing in shares do so on the understanding that shares can go up or down, and can take a long term or short term view? I hope that the FTSE soon stabilises and recovers to its previous level.

    Please forgive my ignorance Marc...I couldn't understand why either...would I be right in saying linking to shares is a risky way of saving?.....and conversely can't those shares recover ?

    So you on the one hand advocate the right of freedom of movement in Europe but only if the person has no right to be part of any democratic process.

    Not exactly cosistent there. Like someone on here who advocates freedom of movement but wants people who retire abroad to lose their pensions as he belives (incorrectly) that they are 'benefits' .

    Two points.
    I am a citizen of UK but after 15 years if I have not registered to vote I lose the right to vote.

    Your partner presumably is a Bulgarian citizen and so has the right to vote in Bulgaria. She could alternatively apply for UK citizenship after living in the UK for 5 years. She would then be able to register to vote.
