...where on November 8th, on a debate on any forthcoming election on remaining in Europe, MPs voted to exclude all British Citizens living in the countries of the EU, even if they pay taxes in UK, but to include all British Citizens living in non EU countries, and to include all citizens of Gibraltar, including those who may be resident there but not necessarily British citizens.
I personally think the referendum has little hope of voting in favour of withdrawal, even if the Conservatives win the next election, which is doubtful, but I am nevertheless astonished at the blazon lack of democracy and the open gerrymandering.
And another thing... How would you feel if you were a ship builder in Portsmouth, and your job and livelihood had just been sacrificed as part of a bribe to buy a "NO" vote in Scotland?
