I started it, but wonder when Mr Wolmar was last mentioned in it? Maybe the thread will run beyond the unsuccessful end of his campaign. |

Presumably they have the passport of the country they were born in. So no, tough. Well that's the kids of a lot of service-men scuppered then despite them having British passports. British forces bases abroad are british sovereign terrority, so no, they arn't. Assuming they are on British bases in the first place. Well, another way of looking at is that people in the forces don't usually have a choice of where they're posted so I'm sure an exception can be made for them and their children. Its not the same as someone who chose to go abroad and have their children born there is it Mr Feather? How is someone who chooses to work for the forces, knowing that a foreign posting is likely, different from someone who works for any other industry and chooses to accept a foreign posting, or someone as already discussed who takes on a fixed-term contract working overseas? What about someone who's on holiday and the offspring pops out early? Anna Noyd-Dryver |

Being sent somewhere and choosing to go somewhere are 2 entirely different things. What about someone who's on holiday and the offspring pops out early? Don't go on holiday if heavily pregnant. Tough. -- Spud |

I said the approach other governments take to ex-pats is up to them. I don't care. But if someone has left the UK permenantly they should lose their right to vote here whether they still have a UK passport or not. -- Spud |
