Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth
The United Kingdom allows Commonwealth citizens to vote in UK parliamentary elections. I think that that is anomalous; I would like to see UK citizens voting in UK elections. As a master of little-known facts, does the hon. Gentleman know whether any other Commonwealth countries give the franchise to Commonwealth citizens?
