Irish and qualifying Commonwealth citizens* have the same voting rights in all UK elections and referenda as British citizens do.

So can Irish and qualifying Commonwealth citizens not also be non - Brits as the poster said ?

 

Quote

after a period of time many non-Brits are elegible to vote in elections as well.

 

Leave to enter, or leave to remain still makes you a non-Brit.

 

Are you sure it is not YOU who is wrong ?

"However, whether the EU and NATO are travelling in the same or divergent directions is the new question we have to ask. The EU’s insistence on planning its own army (as mentioned in reputable papers here and here) poses a distinct danger to European stability if its record is anything to go by, with the EU falling at a number of hurdles in the past  when it has tried operations of its own, finally having to give way to NATO to solve the crisis."

The Remain campaign said quite clearly that voting OUT would make us much worse off, and we're only a little bit worse off so far.  To be fair, we're not out of Europe.  But if not a lie, it was speculation, or maybe a prediction, or analysis, and we don't need analysis by people who know what they're talking about.  Freedom knows no boundaries, or costs, and our children, and their children, will bless us for their priceless freedom, though they may struggle to pay our pensions.

 

Luckily, most Brexit voters have already claimed their pensions, so that is a small price to pay.

Irish and qualifying Commonwealth citizens* have the same voting rights in all UK elections and referenda as British citizens do.

 

EU citizens living in the UK can vote in local and European parliament elections. Depending on where they live they can also vote in elections to the Scottish Parliament, Northern Ireland Assembly or Welsh Assembly.

 

Regardless of how long they have lived in the UK, all other non British citizens cannot vote in the UK until and unless they naturalise as British citizens.

 

See Types of election, referendums, and who can vote

 

*A qualifying Commonwealth citizen is a citizen of a Commonwealth country who has leave to enter or remain in the UK, or does not require such leave. As well as the UK, two other EU members, Malta and the Republic of Cyprus, are also Commonwealth countries. For voting matters in the UK, their Commonwealth citizenship takes precedence over their EU citizenship.

Facts.  Mere twiddle - twaddle.  In the post-Brexit, Trump - Putin war on truth, such things, like election promises, will be irrelevant.  We are beyond the age of knowledge.  This is the age of data.  There will be no more lies, no more truth.  If only George Orwell could have seen it, but if he  had, he could not be turning in his grave

I think you should have phrased that "Russia and China more than Putin's Trump".  Putin may have Russia's interests at heart, and we may be able to negotiate with him on that basis.  He does not have the US' interests at heart, and we cannot negotiate with Sooty on that basis.

Then you went on to talk about a freedom (priceless freedom) our children and their children will bless us for.

Your repeated posts a few days back when you mistook ‘newspaper circulation’ for ‘newspaper readership’.

 

You squirmed but never admitted your error.

 

And today you gave us ‘8 billion not being sent to the EU’, despite the final deal not being in place. Your games around ‘Brexit Dividend’ being in the MSM links you posted and hence not used by you were amusing but you were still wrong - The final deal is not yet signed, your declarations of PM May out doing the Brexit 350 million were wrong.

 

I do not expect you to man up.

Back in the day, I thought that Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish people were pretty much only distinguishable by our accents, and we were a pretty much one United Kingdom.  And our cousins across the border on the Emerald Isle were not so different.  And we were part of one society, one continent with our neighbours, and despite a bit of Barnes Wallis banter and a few Wembley goal posts between friends, it was all pretty good natured, and the British Isles, and the European continent, had pretty much achieved peace amongst ourselves.

 

Tell me again how Brexit is going to reinforce that peace?

The campaign promise stated what leaving meant, if they cannot keep those promises then the referendum choices were not clear, if it were a legal contract it would be voided, the same should be true for referendums otherwise they can persuade the public into signing almost anything under false premises.

Please display THE official campaign promise. You have 90 days.

Yes we could be brothers in arms with the Germans beating all before us.

 

Soldiers used broomsticks painted black instead of guns during a joint Nato exercise last year due to severe equipment shortages, it has emerged.

The incident took place during exercises for Nato's rapid response force, formed in reaction to the Ukraine crisis, which is supposed to be ready to deploy anywhere it is needed at very short notice.

Soldiers in the Panzergrenadierbataillon 371 took part in the exercises last September in Norway.

The troops were missing 31 per cent of their MG3 general-purpose machine guns, 41 per cent of their P8 handguns, and more than three-quarters of their Lucie night-vision devices.

Soldiers resorted to painting broomsticks black and attaching them to Boxer armoured vehicles to simulate gun barrels.

The German Defence Ministry sought to downplay the incident, saying the Boxer vehicles in question were being used as mobile headquarters, and were never supposed to be armed.

The shortages of handguns and machine-guns have since been rectified, a spokesman said.

It emerged last month that the German military was also using ordinary Mercedes vans as stand-ins for armoured personnel carriers during training because of equipment shortages.

Which is why the Remain campaign and those of us who supported it did not and do not, to the best of my recollection, use such terms in response to all the dire predictions from Brexiteers of what would happen had we remained in the EU or were to leave it on terms they disagree with!
