Fwd: overseas voting

[Chris Hill]

Have tried emailing the mp for my registered constituency plus Liss Truss and Bozo  but get parroted back the 'official' government line- no plans to change the policy of the last 70 yrs etc etc from the Civil Service handbook.

Doesn't help that Sevenoaks is about as true blue as you can get although at the next election I will try voting lib dem despite years of voting labour

PPiI: if you are a registered overseas voter the official web site did say MPs duty was to answer to constituents AND registered overseas voters. The overseas voter bit has now been removed. I have posted that on Facebook, a number of times, but with no replies, when the removal of the 15 year rule was at last promised.

My FOI request to electoral commission. Could I suggest many FPs send request or complaint? (and thousands of WASPI ladies?)

            “As a registered overseas voter the information relating to MPs duty stated an MP was required to answer to constituents and registered overseas voters in that constituency. That reference to registered overseas voters has  it seems now been removed from that statement. Many pensioners live overseas, (1.1 million) and many of those state MPs do not or will not reply to them. Why has that reference been removed? Why do MPs refuse to answer to registered overseas?  is it not now a resoosibilty of an MP?”
