Voting rights - reduction to 15 years appealed to European Court of Human Rights

Many Ex Pat Members will be aware that recently your voting rights, as a United Kingdom citizen, were reduced from 20 to 15 years. This reduction was not publicised but rather slipped though the Houses with the minimum of discussion.
This was of course done under Prime Minister or is thatPresident, no wrong again we meant Dictator Blair and his regime.

Many Ex Pats voiced deep concern top us about this cynical move on their part to further remove your say in your Motherland. The Association felt that something ought to be done.

According one of the Co-founders David Burrage has appealed the European Court of Human Rights.
We are delighted to advise that he has received confirmation that his case will be heard. We now await being given a date for his appeal.
