There is an opportunity to make our voices heard via the BBC's Your Voice Your Vote.
I have already accessed this site and expressed my views regarding pensioners suffering from the decision to freeze pensions for UK citizens living abroad.

THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US ALL TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!!!!

I would ask every one of you to access this site and join me in setting out the injustice that we are all having to live with. If we make the effort and enough of us send in messages we may well get to have a say.


Click on the above link and then click again when the www.bbc.co.uk/send/u175963533
drop down link appears.

Fill out the form with your personal information
IN THE SECTION FOR COUNTY CHOSE THE COUNTY WHERE YOU ARE EITHER REGISTERED TO VOTE OR WHERE YOU LAST LIVED
IN THE SECTION - CONTACT NUMBER GIVE YOUR INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODE I.E. +61 (or whichever country you now reside) FOLLOWED BY YOUR MOBILE NUMBER

Come on everyone! Let's make our voices heard!

Done and will be doing it for my husband too! 14+ years of frozen pension is enough. We are not entitled to an Australian pensio! How can this be fair?

Dear Sandi,

Short query,

In the questionnaire where it asks for location it doesn’t have an overseas location available as an option. I.e Australia. Does one just click on the last electorate one voted in e.g. Devon in my case. Seems the BBC doesn’t realize the change in law has re enfranchised a huge number of overseas residents. My wife, Maureen and I will be filling in the survey ASAP.
Well done on such an informative and important email. 

Regards

Bruce.

I expect that you should use the address that you used first getting your vote back as that fits in with how one has to arrange one’s vote and is the constituency you are deemed to be in now/again
